This is a response video to a viewer question from my very first video. User Ro K asked how accurate it was to use T-slot pins to locate parts on the milling machine table. The answer, in my case anyway, is not bad, but not spot on either. For most work, it will get you plenty close, but if you need it to be perfect, indicate it in. Your mileage may vary, especially if you have a machine that was not abused earlier in its life.
