Slightly off topic, but do you mean.. you cut 1/1000 of an inch five times to be the same as 5/1000 of an inch?
1000th of an inch (1/1000) us much larger than 5000th of an inch (1/5000), though in wording they sound the same, in writing they are totally different. If you cut were aiming to cut 1/5000 and you cut 1/1000 once, twice, four , or five times, you cut too much.
Is it obvious that I am at work?
