[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1393155, member: 2736"] Blue printing is the process of making every dimension to specification, fit, and size. It bases everything off of the bore centerline. This part is where "Truing" comes from. There are different levels of Truing But only one level of blue printing. When properly blueprinted, "EVERYTHING" is checked and brought into specification if found to be out. All surfaces that will wear are Honed, lapped and/or polished for operation to a recommended finish for the service. A good smith will automatically Do both truing and blueprinting because they are one and the same the only difference is the level of work done based on the actions needs. I consider Truing to be the least that should be done to "ANY" action even the custom actions should be checked before installing because not every custom action is perfect. SO, even though Truing and blueprinting are used as a description of work to be done to any action, One is the alignment of parts to the centerline of the bore and the other is the complete inspection and repair of anything that is not to specification. We see/use the word perfect, but in the real world perfect means as close as we can get. The one term you don't want to hear when referring to a blueprinting is "That's close enough, or It doesn't matter" J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
