Hi, I have a short question.
How can I define the accuracy of linuxcnc?

I want to compare the highest possible accuracy of linuxcnc with the accuracy of other controls.
What is possible with linuxcnc? 0.1mm? 0.01mm? 1um?

And what are the parameters to modify the accuracy?

What I mean is the positioning accuracy.

These are all possible

IMHO the accuracy of a machine tool has much more to do with
the mechanics and positioning system than the control

Also if you specify accuracy you really need to specify the conditions:

1. Speed (its a lot harder to be accurate at high speeds than low speeds)
2. Cutting force (unless you have position feedback from the tool tip and the work, machine
flexure will contribute substantially to inaccuracy)
3. Temperature management/compensation
