Will changing angles in designs fractionally really matter?

[QUOTE="Greybeard, post: 286020, member: 8412"] Looking for 64 index designs I am finding a lot of designs with fractional angles. For example, a standard brilliant with angles like 42.3 or 19.8 for the crown. On my old manual machine which has simple manual marked angles it would be impossible to set the angle to fractional amounts. Accurately getting whole numbers is a challenge and maybe I can get half degrees but .8 or .3. No way. If I round these to 42 and 20 will this make a lot of difference with the brilliance? [/QUOTE]
