My friend told me that he saw something written somewhere that
Bridgeport Interacts cannot mill (bore) a precisely round hole,
because of stretch on the servo motor timing belts. What do you think
about this statement.

Hey Iggy,

If it isn't "round", it isn't "belt stretch" !! If it's something to
do with the belts and pulleys, it may be wear, but not stretch.

How does yours do?
