You are kidding, of course? You are marking a line 40 mils wide and

And if you could put the bend within 10 mils of where you intended every
time, would anyone care?

I care very much. If you got a chassis from me and it had 20 mil gaps in
the corners, you'd think I was the sloppiest designer in the world. All my
freshman students bend within 10 mils on everything to pass the course.
Most of them can hold 5 if they try.




If the designer calls for that amount of accuracy in anything other than
bearings, it's time to find a new designer.

I *BEG* your pardon? In my part of the world, 0.0 is within 50 mils, 0.00
within 20 mils and 0.000 within 5 mils.
