Exactly. Especially for thin disk type stuff. I made these a hair over .5. Then after mounting them I took a small face cut to even them out. I think you could probably take 'em out to .750 or so. Much more than that and I think they may start cantilevering (canting?) too much. I've taking some vacation days so I think I'll make another set at .750 in aly and see what happens.
If it's crazy but it works, it's not crazy.
