Good points Ziggy we need the free energy system that costs a lot of money.
And also need the back-up system that also cost a lot of money and will set idle when not needed.

If it cuts straight it would seem the holding vise could be adjusted to make it run 1/32 over 7"

$4-$5K should but a very nice saw.

For turning (OD work) the cross-travel sloppiness (nut) has little to do with accuracy. The cutting forces are pushing the tool back toward tightening against the nut and thread. Turning the cross...

Likely .7502 to .751 with a very good running/best spindle and holder to perhaps .770 with having .010 run out in the holding device or spindle error of the end mill.

I would guess that your drill chips are accumulating in your drill fixture at the place between the part and the bushing and causing too much heat so aiding the possibility of work hardening or...

I dont see a thread dial..perhaps owner has it?

Slop in cross feed doesn't matter much if any..with the gibbs set it will cut to the dial.

Gears likely very dry so also perhaps not a big problem.

Seems better centered might effect better accuracy with a barrel getting warm/hot.
What factors make the...
