Has anyone noticed how the tolerance of parts seems to be expanded. I bought some stuff that was advertised to be .060" thick out of 32 parts no more than four were .060" thick. Thickness range was .064" - .056". Many of them would vary .003" across a face of 1.311". All was not lost with the unintended variations in thickness it allowed a closer set up than + or - .015'' shim choice.

............and so it goes
