You are absolutely right about the tolerances. I even had to shim the Z-axis of my milling machine to get the necessary orthogonality.
The axle rods for the hinges are precision guide rods, recycled from CD and DVD drives, and the holes in the hinges had to be diamond lapped after anodizing. Not agricultural machinery standard.
