Items Controlled
a. Turning machines using a single point cutting tool and having all of the following characteristics: a.1. Slide positioning accuracy less (better) than 0.0005 mm per 300 mm of travel; a.2. Bidirectional slide positioning repeatability less (better) than 0.00025 mm per 300 mm of travel; a.3. Spindle "run out" and "camming" less (better) than 0.0004 mm total indicator reading (TIR); a.4.
