Hi Mark, am on the wrong computer now to check but I definitely could have got something wrong. I appreciate someone else checking. It's 11pm here now so will check tomorrow when I am on the right computer!
Hi Bob, the question, as always, is what is meant by slight? It's like when the books say check for 'excessive wear'. If I've only ever seen one I have no idea what that means! Absolute measurements make more sense. If something says X should be 2 thou but up to 10 thou is ok that means something. I can measure it. The people who have seen hundreds of these things and have a gut feel for what's ok and what isn't are sadly getting fewer and fewer. When they are gone how is someone like me, who is coming along for the first time, supposed to know what's acceptable or not. I do like that in the Woodrow book, it give acceptable ranges.
I know and appreciate you have a ton of knowledge about this stuff. It's great when you can share it in a measurable way.
