OK, so if you started at 0.7 mm and he milled off 0.279 mm, then 0.979 mm would be the new ideal thickness, so the 1 mm HG would be a fine choice and is readily available.

But what's the .2?
"I was told I need a gasket .2 thickness."

I'd check to see what he meant by that. 0.2 inches is is 5.08 mm, which is not going to work. Maybe he meant "0.2 mm thicker" ???

These HGs come size in metric - 0.7 or 1.0. His milling machine is probably in inches ???
