Optical comparator shadow versus the metal edge

On a comparator the edge of a ground flat is fuzzy and two people pick shadows 0.03 mm apart. The tolerance is ±0.02. Both are experienced. The light is the same setting as last year.

Agree which shadow you pick, upper or lower, and lock the light. A fuzzy edge plus two personal rules is a 0.03 argument. Use a contact method for a ±0.02 if the comparator cannot repeat between people.

Check a gauge block at the same magnification and the same light. If the block also splits by 0.03 between people, the method is not capable, no matter how experienced they are.

Write the rule on the card for that part. 'Experienced' is not a procedure.
