Wrist pins are pretty useful, I find. Also machinery collars.

OK there are times when you do, but they are rare as cold rolled stock is amazingly accurate over a shortish (6" or so) length.

Andrew -- I am not disagreeing.  I was merely using my equipment as an example.  It is not uncommon for me to have to deliver parts that are made to +/-.0005 in (+/-0.013 mm) tolerances.  Typical CRS bar will be +/-.0005 in over a 6 inch length -- good enough for most home shop uses.

You just have not lived until you have had parts you made go through a NASA or military inspection program!
