Step-by-Step Guide/Tutorial:
Identifying the Need: If you're checking the protrusion on your liner and find that it’s at three or two thousandths, consistently across the board, a skinnier spacer plate can be an option.
Using the Skinnier Spacer Plate: For example, if you are at three thousandths, adding the skinnier spacer plate (which is three thousandths smaller) will bring you up to six thousandths.
Alternative to Counter Boring: If you have access to or own a counter boring machine, using a skinnier spacer plate is not advisable. However, for those without access to such equipment, this can be a practical solution.
Key Benefits:
Cost-Effective Option: Thinner spacer plates are reasonably priced and can be a more affordable alternative to counter boring.
Emergency Solution: They can save your day when other options are not available.
Ease of Use: Simple to implement without the need for specialized machinery.
Considerations:
Flatness: These plates may not be perfectly flat, which can result in varying thicknesses (e.g., 2 thousandths here and 1 thousandth there).
Best Use Case: Using thinner spacer plates should be a last resort. It’s better to use counter boring for precision.
