That high speed machine is wild. Some of the most common parts in the world are crazy accurate but since they are produced in such huge volumes they can still be cheap. Screws and ball bearing that you can buy for $10 a pack are order of magnitude beyond what even a king could buy in the middle ages. I'm not even going into how you can buy processors/memory with features on the order of nanometres for single digit dollar amounts these days.
