Hi Gents. I wanted to ask what you all consider an acceptable tolerance for your CNC machines to hold. I ask because I am currently considering designing and building a CNC router specifically for cue work. My problem is that I tend to do every thing OVERKILL so much so that its to the point of almost being comical most of the time. I know that the tighter a machine needs to be the more expensive the materials used in its construction are and I really would like to avoid spending the money trying to build a machine that can hold tolerances with in tenths of a thousandth if holding tolerance with in say one thousandth or two thousands would be considered acceptable by the lions share.
Also on a side note, do you think it would be better to have have a 4th axis rotary indexer for stuff like points, windows, inlay work and a separate spinning station for basic turning and tapering or would having a 4th rotary indexer be enough to accomplish both tasks?
