That's an interesting way of keeping the QC function flowing. When I was working in the screw machine shops with much smaller parts we had similar procedures, though we never marked parts. Segregation yes, marking no, because it took too long and wasted acetone to clean the Dykem off. We just put the inspected part in the thin plastic bag with a small paper noting sequence number for the part. That sequence number matched the list on the inspection report. Everyone does it differently, there's no one answer to suit all.
I love the finish! They look like aluminum. Yeah, one shot in with an insert drill would have taken a serious chunk of time out of that job. How did the drilling operation work out? Perhaps the next lathe will be able to do that? ;)
