I'm done, I will not share any more of my knowledge on this topic, its falling on deaf ears.
LOL. I'm an engineer for a metric industrial gearbox manufacturer. I work within thousandths of millimeters and have plenty of technical knowledge. Notice I said "... near 1/4" spectrum of tolerance...". Tolerance spectrum (range) total from LMC to MMC is 6.00mm which is 0.35mm less than 1/4". So yes, a near 1/4" spectrum. Does anyone on this forum have any reading comprehension knowledge??

Not trying to start a pissing match, I just found it wild that crucial bits can go 3mm either way from nominal. I'm sure it's difficult to "bend" something back to nominal; I just would have assumed that it would be more precise is all
