How accurate is your machine? can you produce anything within claimed specs?

After getting my machine dialed in, I have found that it’s accuracy has exceeded that of the claimed specs by Inventables. Below are a few real world examples of it’s abilities. The accuracy was enough for a watch maker friend of mine to request a favor and so the first link is to that. All using Easel and the stock X-Carve.

A few weeks ago a friend asked if I would help him make a tool. It seems like once you get an X-Carve they come out of the woodworks with ideas for things you could do for them. This friend is a horologist and repairs/builds watches and clocks. He recently came across a watch that needed a special tool to open the back to replace the battery. He could buy this special tool from the manufacture of the watch for a large sum, but he thought I could give it a try first. The tool needed is basically…

And finally, I have a tool caddy that I made out of MDF that needed accurate holes for my bits to sit in.
Here is a pic of the holes I drilled using Easel.

These are just a few examples… the X-Carve, with it’s open ended path to modification tends to exceed my expectations pretty regularly and can achieve the kind of accuracy that you are looking for. Hang in there and it will pay off.
