Machining experts please advice.

When working with aluminum, is it possible to receive a product that has a 1/8th inch variance? Is that acceptable? How does aluminum arrive? Blocks? I don't know how you receive and work with aluminum, but I received a product recently that's out of spec by 1/8 of an inch. They were rings that was suppose to be at 5/8th inch thick, but came in at 1/2 inch. The vendor told me when they received the raw material, sometimes there's a variance. The item was CNC machined and I thought it's suppose to be very precise. 1/8th of an inch sounds ridiculous. Am I wrong?


Thanks.
