Trimming to width

Perfect the width using a sandpaper block and a digital caliper that reads in thousandths of an inch. For some reason, the human eye is very sensitive to slight differences in width so be very picky about consistent widths for these bone caps. Accept anything within 2/1000ths of your desired width – any greater than that needs more work on the sanding block. Make certain that the bone measures the same width over its entire length.
