The routers with built in lifts are a lot less accurate (I think -- on

Not to nitpick, but a 128th of an inch is only about .0008" I was
under the impression that anything closer than a 64th (.0016") was
considered extremely accurate and fine craftsmanship when it comes to
woodworking. What is it you intend to rout that needs a tolerance of
.0001"?


Not to nitpick, but I think you have an extra "0" to the right of the
decimal in each of your numbers above. But I absolutely agree with
your point. This is WOOD working, not metal fabrication.


By Jove, you're right! Thanks for the correction...
