THIS is why I talked about the difficulty of aligning the edges "perfectly" and on both sides. + rep for posting this illustration Brakedust. A picture IS worth 1000 chips.
I'll tell ya'll right now that mathematically the 'stripes' on the faces lower denomed chips are exactly the same width. This comes from using a real Bud Jones chip as a template. The illusion (and I never ridiculed anyone, just stated the facts) occurs because different colors are perceived as different sizes. Did you ever notice how women who are "bottom heavy" tend to wear darker pants/skirts and lighter tops? Lighter colors appear to be "larger" and darker colors "smaller" when positioned next to each other.
What Palm and SunFly are dealing with is the alignment of 3 variables. The face, the back and the rolling edge. WHEN THEY TRIED (aka the first prototype set) I must admit they are not PERFECT but they are darn close. Little "offs" here and there, but not exact like an injected chip would be, but still looked great for a ceramic chip built in 3 parts.
Joe even stated that if you are looking for "perfectly aligned edges" then you are not going to find it in this chipset. This is the main reason why NO OTHER CERAMIC CHIP MAKER will even attempt to do this.
