    I don't think so.! Some of the best and most accurate lathes and Milling machine in the world use Epoxy granite because of it's thermal advantages and the fact they can build in extra mechanisms ie: running coolant thru the frame to increase this even more. Kern for instance and the Bigger DMG Mori's etc all use EG for there frames.
    -use common sense, if you lack it, there is no software to help that.
