"Yeah, WHY?"

I'm starting mine and will be using the Monaco tool rawze shows in his videos. I'm a perfectionist too. I think your numbers are probably good enough. But if I had those same numbers, I'd probably be trying to get them exact too. See what others say though. I dunno for sure.
Oh btw, did I read correctly that you had .002 taken off the deck?

Yeah, .002 off the deck for the most part, evened out my protrusion readings. I know my numbers looked horrible, but I will say this, the machine shop I used does care about their work, despite the fact that they are, (from my perspective), high volume and tend to stick by the specs listed by manufacturers. It's a long story, but if they didn't care, they would have never taken the time for everyone involved (the owner, the sales, the machinist) all to devout well over an hour to me in the middle of the day to address my concerns and be so willing to go over every single detail and concern with me.
