Picked up some new .500 thick bars so I can face off a handful of parts at a time. Decided to check them before using them and they are flat and within .0003" in height to each other. The sides however have a .001-.003" crown to them on one side and off square .002-.004" on the taller bars. Not positive how much the crown is throwing off my squareness measuring though.
Used them anyway without pushing them against the jaws and the parts are coming out fine. Vise is the gerardi type.
Tried them up against the jaws and still no issues. Was always taught they should be flat and square so does it really matter?
If I used springs or keepers maybe it would show but I don't.
Curious of what others think.
