I am doing a project where I need the a stainless plate. There are runners fix to the plate where a block slides over the runners.
We have been getting plates in which aren't flat which are causing issues with our runners and alignment. I was going to put a flatness tolerance of 0.5 but i'm not sure if this is practical (I suspect it is, but I can't find any sources to confirm this).
Is a 0.5 flatness tolerance over the length and width reasonable for fabrication shops to hold the plate to?
