I don't think he was specifically talking about grinding applications per se, but the overall build accuracy of the machine. If you had a perfect grinder or cutter, most machines would have some twist or lack of rigidity or distortion of components that would lead to inaccuracies as the part is turned. Because of the way this machine is built, it is capable of achieving 1 micron accuracy. It most certainly takes extremely careful setups (and accounting for wear) to achieve this accuracy, though.
- th0ma5 11y agoI did seem to get the impression that he could start at a reference point. He also mentioned zeroing out the set up. It also seems very possible even without calibration that once the apparatus was in operation that subsequent operations would be relatively accurate to each other within a micron. But yes, overall it seemed to me that absolute precision was potentially a whole other can of worms.
