by a searcher

How good is +/- 0.0002” as a tolerance level?  Seems very precise to me.  Thanks!

Be careful. Typical measurement tools cannot measure to that level. For reference purposes a human hair is typically about 0.002”. Production CNC machine tools cannot machine parts to that your quoted tolerance. Further, the market for such parts would be limited.
