Default CNC Homeshop Machining With A FADAC UMC10

What affects surface accuracy is of course the resolution of the surface
mesh (STL or 3DS) and the defined resolution of the machining operation.


That is not all that affects accuracy. Even if you have the time
and computational power and storage capacity to produce g-code
files with millions of data points there is still the question of
whether your CNN can fluidly move to all those data points and cut
the part to within .0001".

If you had a machine that could do that
it is unlikely you would be using CamBam.

If you are making fishing lures and the end product
conforms to the original CAD surface geometry to less than
0.002" then you are doing exceptionally good job.
