The precision number in CNCwrapper is to set the number of decimal places.

Most users would have 3 or 4 for imperial and 2 or 3 for metric.

The scale factor in PVC is to adjust the "Estimated Machining Time" Set this to reflect actual cutting times.

This allows for variations in different machines, acceleration etc.
