    Hey,
    I create a new 3D model and I noticed differences in models between V-SLOT and C-BEAM profiles.
    The difference is small but applies to the width of the groove.

    On the left, a fragment of C-BEAM
    On the right, V-SLOT 2020
    The width of the C-BEAM groove is 6.79 mm
    The width of the V-SLOT groove is 6.25 mm
    I have both profiles physically and I do not see the difference, however, it is optically difficult to notice the 0.5mm difference.

    I wonder if the difference really exists or is it an error on 3D models.
    I will be grateful for the information.

    The V-profiles should be the same, but as always manufacturing tolerances do account (which is why eccentric spacers are used to fine tune fit)
