The material is 6061 T6 and I was using a HHS parting tool. These spacers are being used to space out a mounting plate for a DRO scale so the actual number is less important than having two the same. Maybe I am asking too much as they are only .003" different. I really was wondering if my method was correct or should I have done it differently. I asked my boss and he said he would have left it long and then milled it to length. Maybe I'll try that next time if I have to be really picky.
