A part like this can have some tolerance because it experiences wear and tear and oxidation, if it had to be down to a few microns perfection, the helicopter wouldn’t fly in both hot and cold temps even on day one. Die and investment metal casting especially with CNC machining, which are common enough processes in metal shops, can actually get down to single digit microns. But this is all moot as no one would ever do this for many reasons.
