Each division on a thimble is a hundredth of a millimetre. On a small drill press the Z axis lets you bring a part up to the bit by a measured amount instead of moving the head on the column.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Top plate 40 x 40 mm or 60 x 60 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTravel about 6.5 mm each way\u003c\/strong\u003e on X and Y, per the maker.
