Its all down to the tool description mate and programming experience, you can get them to do anything, believe me.
as for Mazaks not being accurate... thats bollox, i work on aeropace components everyday and it holds the tolerances i usually have to work to ie. +/- 0.0002in.
we dont use the mazatrol we program of line, but they are accurate we hold similar tollerances to to the above milling tool steel
