Linear movements cause constant stresses for highly-precise slideways and guideways. At the worst, introduction of chips may cause notching or insufficient dimensions. This is a serious problem for machines operating in 1/1000 millimeter (0.00004 inch) range. Overhauling can only be done by exchanging guideways or carrying out a complete mechanical revision. No matter which process is chosen, considerable cost and timeloss are inevitable.
