I default into Inches.... However, I am a metric guy who is constantly annoyed by the US imperial system. fractions of inches, 12 per foot, three per yard and 95% of the population do not know how many feet are in a mile. And 99% mistake the decimal system with the metric system. The other 1% are on this list or otherwise in the 'building stuff' business haha. Any case.... already at .001 inches temperature has it's go. At least with aluminum. i remember breaking out in panic when I milled my first pieces on the bridgeport I have and the part seemed to grow every time I cut a hair off the plate I tried to dimension... It was the work light heating up the plate... hahaha. What a surprise. And a healthy reminder to 'ignore' the last digits of my expensive caliper. recently I bought a cheap chinese digital caliper. I feel less concerned, and the motor mount holes still fit 8))). .0001mm... can't imagine how steady you have to temper everything around that thing... How do you position that? Piezo? Precison where precision is due... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
