Amen to the HSS route. Try facing 0.001 inch off a rifle barrel shoulder with a

Amen to that!

And I used to take off a couple of tenths sometimes too. It was
harder to measure the cut than it was to make it. I did the cut with
a specially ground 3/8" Mo-Max HSS cutting bit that I had that was
used for nothing else.
