When I had my shop, we had a Clausing Colchester 15 and 17, Mori-Seiki 17, Howa Sangyo 17, Hardinge HLV and a couple of other more forgettable lathes. I'd be happy with .0003 over 14 in. on any of them. I'm stunned that my SB Heavy 10 is that close. In a job shop environment, you can't afford the machinist who will continue to chase a dimension after it's in tolerance. Perfection is not possible, close enough is.
