Doesn't temperature affect precision within that range? Like when the parts cool down, they'll be unprecise. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CarsAndComrades@hexbear.net [S] 13 points 3 years ago At my old shop they gave the job of running the EDM to the old dude who regularly fell asleep during his shift.
