Look it up ...


1/1000th inch? Is that all???

Good enough for AutoCAD, and certainly well within the specifications of

Some of us have to work to .00005" or smaller.


half a ten thousandths of an inch?

Ayup...aerospace requires 50 millions or half 10ths all the time.

Which is damned hard to do with machines that hold +/- 2 tenths
