   I wish I had something constructive to say... so instead I'll say this,   
   "If you can make it give you useful readings it probably isn't wrong."   
      
   Yesterday I drilled and tapped a mold for bolt on hinges.  (Shop made   
   hinges) One hinge was 1/16 inch off on all three holes.  I put a washer   
   in between, and not only does it work great, but it looks cool like a   
   layered knife scale.   
      
   After correction I reprinted my print and stuck it to the mill with a   
   magnet.  Then I shipped the mold.  Now the print clearly shows a washer   
   used as a spacer in the lower hinge.
