[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 583771, member: 25383"] a good rule of the thumb is that a precision tool room manual lathe is good for about .0005". I've seen a couple small Hardinghs that would do .0003" day in and day out, but's that's not a common thing. The spindle line alone won't let you get much better than .0005" on a perfectly aligned machine. Even a brand new Bridgeport mill is only built to a .001" spec. But on the otherhand a well maintained Monarch Double E with scales is capable of sub five tenths work with light cuts. Reason I mentioned the Monarch is that it's well known as the single most accurate tool room lathe ever built, and 90% of the time it's never goona be much less than .00075" on a good day. gary [/QUOTE]
