I divide the scale factors by 4, so I have .01, .001, and .0001" per click of the encoder. I have a lowpass filter on it (thanks, Jeff Epler!) to prevent it from "buzzing" the servos. I use it often when cleaning up a face or edge while off-hand machining to count out thousandths of an inch for the next pass. And, I use the .0001" per click mode with an edgefinder.
