Readers of this column are a gentle lot and not likely to run afoul of criminal law but can end up in a similarly frustrating situation that limits their working life. Instead of steel bars restraining them, specifications on setting masters will lock them up and they will only have themselves to blame. The purpose of this column is prevention so you don’t become a prisoner of precision.
The mistake too many folks make is specifying tolerances for dimensional masters that are not realistic thus causing escalating despair and usually increased costs.
