    That’s exactly what inspired me to this meme… I get given prototype lineal profiles up to 12 feet long and they expect hardware locating hole tolerances of .005 on an extruded part that’s warped and wavy probably .030-.060 along it’s entire length… not happening bud, split the difference and ship it.
