I may need to make a gage out of .125" aluminum. It's a U-shaped gage for check part protrusion. Not particularly tight on the profile, .010", but there are a few annoying things about it. The one of interest today is that it's listed as .125" stock, but has a flat .010" callout on one face. I'm pretty sure stock won't be flat to .010". If I can't convince the customer to change their mind, it seems like my options are to bend/peen it flat, or make it from larger stock and have it ground flat.
Any suggestions?
