My woodworking equipment has a certain amount of jitter and give. It seems to have precision to about 1-1.5mm. I imagine medical grade machine cutting would have higher precision?
- vasco 2y agoProbably, but when you're watching these surgeries as a layman for the first time it's surprising how much fumbling around they seem to do. I have a few pieces of metal inside me so took more of an interest at some point, and even those surgeons admit their job is mostly carpentry on hard mode.
