How accurate is scraping?

Accuracy: Scraping is done to align components within millionths of an inch, allowing for consistently-held, tight tolerances. Flatness: Eight to ten contact points per square inch are created to prevent rocking, add balance when tightening, and to allow for true flatness in parts.
