People can do some impressive things when they’ve had thousands of hours of practice. You can make things by hand just as precisely as by machine, it just takes a lot longer. The limiting factor is being able to measure your work, so you can take off more material where you have too much. If you want more precision, you just switch to something that removes material more slowly.
