Where are the microns coming from?

 What Albert wrote implies that precision is 0.005 (half of 0.01).
But (what he did not wrote) default unit for mechanical work is
milimeter.  0.005 of milimeter is 5 micron.
 

Agreed, the terms mu and micron are still quite popular among boomers, but haven't actually been part of the SI since 1967. It's micrometre, folks. Glow up!
