So as promised, something more scientific....

I used my touch probe to measure the length of the cross braces. Fairly impressive cutting tolerance really I suppose, the nominal length was 344mm and the longest was 344.34mm while the shortest was 344.28mm so they are within 0.06mm of each other. Would have been even more impressed if they were all 0.3mm shorter








So my options are to use some shim material to make them all up to an effective 344.34mm or I can try to nip them all down to 344mm on the CNC... Shimming is probably the least risk route.
