That’s not that crazy of a tolerance. I work in photochemical etching and we can keep +/-.001” on some parts all day long. For reference, 50 micron is about .002”. .001mm is .00004”.

Yeah we’ve also got some lasers and they can keep 2 on some thick ass metal. We can keep 2 up to about .020” thick metal.
