Re: Timing Belts?

Thanks for the welcome and the information, Tim and Doug.

The reason I am obsessing about fine resolution is because if I ever
get a mill built it will be used for making jewelry; in other words,
very small parts. OK, I won't be making parts for rocket engines, so
extremely fine tolerences aren't that important, but I really want
the ability to engrave very small text (~3 mm high,0.75 mm line
thickness or less) and the ability to make very smooth surfaces for
molds. I'm finding it hard to get an idea of where the cut off point
is in terms of "useful resolution" if you know what I mean.

We plan to get a mill at my company in a few weeks. Probably a simple
benchtop one to start with, so I think some of my questions will be
answered through my experiences with this machine.

Thanks again,
Tom Murray
