Re: Microkinetics and Tormach CNC machines

As a person that works for a company that makes CNCs, I find it humorous that Tormach doesn't list resolution, accuracy, or repeatability anywhere on their website or documentation.

At least Microkinetics does that, .00025 resolution is ok, though .003 per foot screw error isn't awesome. 8" Travel in the Y is good, 20" in x is good, 5" in z is a little bit tight if do more then a plates of Alu.
