Well, I was just going to let that one go but he (Tristan) is totally off. Did you read my entire post? I'm not trying to just set aside the two microns and say "oh, it is nothing, don't worry about it." In some applications, I'm sure that 2 microns is a huge tolerance. What I am saying is that the inherent tolerance in that machine is more than 5 times that large (at least probably .0004 as opposed to two microns which is ~0.00008). If you are making parts with a tolerance of 2 microns, you won't get it on that machine, which is why I have no idea how anyone familiar with common machining would even bring up anything about 2 microns being a problem (requiring the installation of a backup battery).
