There is always a price variance with respect to tolerancing because a tighter tolerance means more scrap or more tightly controlled materials or process. -Michael. We will either find a way or make one - Hannibal In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity - Al Einstein If you think you can do something or you think you can't, in both cases you are probably right - H Ford If you're not getting the results you want with the current approach, move on and try something else. - A.
