Mind you 1E99 is a lot of paper even if you measure it in microns.

It's 100000000000000000 x the number of atoms in the universe...

Maybe that 1e99 default is "somewhat" too lax. Double precision floating point only guarantees 15 significant digits, so if we want to ensure correct representation of, say, 0.001 machine units, we should probably limit the limits to +/-1e12 or so.

Edit: but even 1e12 mm = a billion meters is some 25 times around the Earth, so... that would be a BIG lathe, or quite a lot of paper! :)

Edit2: ... unless you're making toilet paper for the entire world. Then you'd run into that 1e12 mm limit after [url=
