Wood router duty cycle?

You might be able to clock the collet to improve run out. Wood is more forgiving than metal I use a .0001" resolution one like that quite often at work. For some things it isn't good enough but for the majority of lining up things it gets the job done.

I am not expecting miracles. i |
