Re: question of the year

In my opinion, and it's just that, an opinion, it doesn't matter if it's made here, there or somewhere in between. Different company's have different tolerances. Company "A" will make a part 4" long with a 3/8" hole +- 1/16" and centered +- 1/16". Company "B" make the same part with 1/8"+- tolerances. If "A" makes it 1/16" to the left and "B" makes it 1/8" to the right there is a 3/16" difference. It doesn't sound like much but in some case 1/16" can seem like a mile. Like I said this is all my opinion so take it for what it's worth. (not much)
