"Other than that, I think it's a foolish question. My standard answer at work
is something to the extent of, "it will make parts as accurately as you are
capable of making them"."


One thing often overlooked is that an beginning machinist trying to
make accurate parts needs a lathe with more intrinsic accuracy than
some old fart who has learned to live with the inaccuracies of his
lathe and still make good parts.
