Dude, you are an idiot!!!
I live in a 5 place decimal world to make a living and you are bragging about how smart you are operating within .016. I use a scale that reads .01 for a rough saw cut and make a good buck doing it. To translate your lunacy to someone trying to get an old model to trim right is out of the realm of reason. Listen to yourself and ask if Mr. Starrett his bad self didn't use a tolerance when making the best machinist scales ever.
Double talk aside you have not given a logical track to follow yet!
Step away from the keyboard and learn how to do a glue joint without 20X the amount of glue needed and learn that less is better, posting here included. Don't ask me to show you what I build either. Just look in your telescope (if you can believe it is accurate enough) at the space station. Yeah, I made parts for that too.
