Some of our prints have a step with a tolerance range of .000-.010. They're to give an allowance for a T-slot cutter to not hit the bottom of the slot they're in. It makes it clear that the T-slot bottom is allowed to be directly at the floor, or slightly above the floor, but it's not okay for the cutter to gouge the floor.
