Jon, the tw90 is a very nice grinder, it has some accessories that u can't find on any other grinders ( like the magnetic surface plate ) it runs very smooth and is a work of art, but its $$$ the kmg is a nice grinder, not as refined as the tw90 and not as many bells and whistles as the tw90 either, but its less $$$, the bader is like the kmg. As for precision, i would think that you can get pretty close, probably about as close as you can get to almost any surface grinder that has been converted to use belts.
