    I like it !
    Typically you would multiply everything by 1000 for .001 resolution .
    Oh, and you're cutting cardboard, forget measuring to .0001 or even .001 especially when you break it into dia/2000 the temp/humidity will kill those resolutions anyway, and seriously just how close does a cardboard piece have to fit? I make parts, mostly for the space/aircraft test industry and I see engineers throw out useless impossible tolerances which serve zero purpose other than make everyone's job harder and swell their ego's. Did a job recently where the engineer told me to bore some holes at the intersection of 2 parts and then take them apart and mill off .002 from 1 surface. Yea right, shimmed it with paper and bored it, on top of that the part it clamped was just a piece of PEX tubing which varied all over the place in diameter.
    I guess what I am trying to say is, make Your own job easy.
    Or turn that feed roller down to 1.9099 and it will roll out 6.000 .

    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
    .
    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

    There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.
