Male received fine for a traffic violation, $140.
Policeman returned to his vehicle.
Male driver donned his flouro vest and approached policeman.
The driver explained he was a Worksafe inspector for the State Government...then promptly gave the policeman a fine around $800.
The policeman didnt wear his own flouro vest which was mandatory.

So 1 thou is .02mm, does two tenths = .01mm?
At the moment I grind my blocks to within +/- .005mm on a good day and the grinder behaves. But that's grinding, I dunno how you'd go machining to those tolerances
