The harsh reality is that working to a tenth or two on common machine tools is a huge call. They simply aren't built to do that (although there are a few exceptions). Working to a thou (±.0005") is difficult enough, although certainly doable.

Re: Servo 150 Power Feed Circuit Board Connectors and Schematic
I also found a ceramic disk capacitor broken That is likely the problem, as it was with my Haas mill. They're called varistors, and are intended to protect the machine against over voltage. A power surge killed one of the six in my Hass mill power supply resulting in the mill no longer being able t...

Re: Odd question
Please take this post as it's intended. "To close to tolerance" makes no sense and has nothing to do with the issue. Tolerance implies that amount that a dimension can vary from nominal. Fact is, tight tolerance guarantees fits , it does not compromise them. If every dimension on a locomot...

Does anybody know where I can get parts for a central machinery t5980 I need the mill top cover. You would be far better off not posting your inquiry under the heading of another topic, where it most likely won't be seen by all too many people. I highly recommend you post again, starting your own t...
