I am working on a project with my yag that is larger than its working area. So I built an x y table but needed a way to measure how far I moved the part between each run. I ended up designing a vernier scale that can be put on jig that needs a way to measure accurately.
The scale goes down to .001" but I doubt it is actually accurate to much more than .005", I suppose the accuracy mostly depends on how accurate the laser you use to create it is.
In case you don't know what a vernier scale is or how to read one take a look at this link
