I doubt you can get 0.1 thou tolerance out of a water cutter.

Sorry, I was off by one decimal place.

http://info.omax.com/precision

Average of ±0.003" (±0.08 mm) and up to 0.001” (±25 µ)

About the same as a laser cutter.

You set it to cut very slowly and it angles the head to account for motion and material deformation (you need to program the type of material).

I would suspect GP is referring to precision as amplified through the gear chain
