It's not just the precision that's different! I used to do a lot of
metalwork and recently started working with wood. One thing that I
noticed is that, with metal, the piece usually is held tight and you
move the tools. With woodwork, the tools are stable and you move the
workpiece!

It still feels strange to work with tolerances of more than .001".
When I worked for a company that built precision gages, we had
tolerances of 10 millionths on some of our equipment!
