In todays industry, it is important to look at the company backing up its product regarding service and technical support. I believe Haas automation offers the quickest response of any machine tool manufacturer in the world when it comes to solving any issue that may arise. We offer extensive technical assistance to the newcomer that has limited knowlegde (programming and set up guidance). Regarding the positioning claims, I do not understand what your units of measurmnet are above. But Haas offers .0001"
(.025mm) repeatability and .0002" (.051mm) positioning. We also have Electronic Thermal compensation on our machines which makes up for your environmental changes throughout the day. Cutting loads will make a diference when machining, but of course if you want accuracy, then you make a finish pass which the idea behind it is to have no load while cutting andf therefore get the requiered accuracy. Feel free to email me or call if you need furhter assistance and or guidance regarding your future purchase.
