Sorry, meant to say that the 7075 RC is getting is likely in the range of +.002.
Your hex was probably extruded. When we first bought our 7075 hex, I remember the tolerance on extruded being +.009/-0 and cold formed being the .002.
Remember, GP doesnt just need to apply to FIRST; if we all apply in our lives as a whole, the world will be a better place. - Dillon Compton [more]
