My concern was not with machine accuracy, but with program accuracy, and I needed to prove it to myself. I wanted to make sure that if I cut a gear that I do not increment and accumulate on a rounded number. the spline and gear wizard creates code that adds 1 rounded increment to the correct absolute value each move. Therefor every tooth cut will have the same nano error instead of progressively increasing to the last tooth cut. This is correct way to calculate each move. Program accuracy and machine accuracies are factors in the final finished parts accuracy. So now I know what mach3 is doing this gives me insight as to how to write good code.
