Anyone working their CNC to 2/10 of a Thousanth of an Inch

[m_c]

I remember chatting to someone who had a repeat job producing pins with a tenth tolerances. After producing several thousand, he finally asked what they were for, that they required such a tight tolerance. Turned out they were for a nylon pulley, and the designer had mistakenly done the drawing using the template with the standard specs for their hydraulic components. The tolerance should of been a couple thou.

:D Nice one!
I hope he was charging for "Tenths Tolerances" ;-)
