Precision Bores, +/-.0003. True position held within .001. This was done in 2 setups, using the Chevalier. “Trust is a big deal,” describesMarcelo. “I trust that once I get my first article that the machine is going to do exactly what I want, exactly the same way, with the exact same precision. Part 10 is exactly the same as part 1. The repeatability is amazing, it inspires so much confidence in what we do.” “I feel we took a chance on the unknown and it paid off for us,” concludes Jeff. “It was a big commitment for us adding a second 5 axis ma- chine. We are very happy with the service and support we’ve received and still impressed with the quality of parts the Chevalier is capable of producing.” 4. 5. 6. 7.
