Actually, I'm not into jewelry - its just that this differential threading
is "a solution looking for a problem", and the movement range fits
into the small size that jewelry usually is.

But to answer your question, no doubt the application calls more for
a grinder-type bit rather than a "hogging" type bit, so I doubt there
would be any deflection on the light finishing passes. Also, with the
huge mechanical advantage, any sliders could be very tight indeed.
