I suspect .1 mm is a step. Or at least half a step. I also suspect its repeatability is much better than its absolute x,y position. I bet the .1 is absolute positioning.

Specsmanship. Especially foreign specsmanship. Half the time I am afraid I missed a "gotcha".

A Quote from the specs, "Resolution 0.1mm on all axes". That's 0.004". So a 15 mill wide trace could become 23 mills wide or 7 mills wide. I don't think my boards cold take that level of slop.
