Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors,

Congratulations on your manuscript and your research results. Allow me to make a few comments aimed at refining and thus improving the quality of the report of your resarch.

- Some of your sources seem a bit outdated. Especially in view of thermal compensation, a lot of progress has been made in recent years.

- Concerning your sources and state of the art, please also consider the most recent advances of the state of the Art, in order to give a more complete and also current view of the state of research, e.g. P. Blaser

- The explanation of the DIN 230 in lines 86ff are a bit lengthy, and do not nessecarily belong in a research paper

- When considering the working accuracy of the machine, why was Weikert's R-Test neglected?

- The text in all figures and images should be English (e.g. Figure 7)

- The layout is a bit inconsistent with regards to figures (Excel, extracts from Tools, etc.), and the text sizes and fonts vary too much

- If possible, ask an English native to proofread your manuscript, for some minor refinements. This will also help the lisibility.

- The research is well-written, presents some interesting findings, but tends to be more of a report than an actual research paper. Maybe try to improve your interpretation and conclusion of the results, instead of referring to future research.

Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns regarding my remarks.

Reviewer 2 Report

Thank you for having considered the comments to a satisfactory extent. Some of the suggestions were not taken into account, which should be motivated or explained in order to make the review process a useful instrument. Moreover, the novelty and the takeaways could still be refined to add clarity and a more convenient communication of concept and results. Overall, the quality is now acceptable for publication, with the sole limitations of the figures still containing words that are not English, and the strong inconsistency between the layouts.
