There are many ways to measure a bore, and many factors that influence the accuracy of hole diameter measurements. For example, we know that operator skill in using rocking-type adjustable bore gages can influence the results, as can variations in part geometry. This may make even technically accurate measurements inaccurate from a part-function perspective, so it is important to consider the effects of gage centralization for smaller bores.

In a world where new technology keeps popping up out of nowhere, it's easy to think that this new tech can solve any and all your manufacturing challenges. This is a dangerous assumption because thoughtless reliance on technology can become a liability. Yes, tech does makes work easier and faster, but we've learned in recent decades that projects can still fail if the new technology being used doesn't bring manufacturing, business, and go-to-market strategies together.
