There's been some debate here about what the CMM is capable of measuring to when it comes to the 10:1 rule. Obviously we can change the resolution on the dimensions we want reported way out. What number do you guys reference for this?
Without even looking at any actual numbers from your machine I can tell you that in real world applications, in a very well controlled environment (<1Deg C average temperature variation per 24 hrs, <1deg C stratification throughout the room), your machine is, at best, capable of ~0.010mm repeatability over a 1 meter length. The machine spec will tell you that it is closer to 0.005mm/meter but you won't really achieve that in real world applications.
If you don't have a very well controlled room then you can easily double or even triple the value stated above.
