Did you know this about CNC machines

While setting up the CNC lathe, I noticed that the tolerances we achieve can be as tight as 0.001 inches. It got me thinking — how do other shops ensure that level of precision? I’m curious if anyone else has tips or stories about maintaining quality in high-speed manufacturing.
