Reply:Why bother saving it.  Welding the groove shut and re-cutting is not going affect the time/cost much.  Was it a customer request or your choice?My name's not Jim....

Reply:They are nailing you for .0004"  Have they not heard of a bearing heater?

Reply:Very nice work as allways....how did you hold 0.0004" on a lathe...???
Reply:The print is probably supposed to say -0 +.0014 but... we all know how engineers can be.  I mean the bearing isn't even .0004 precise.
