There can variability in a variety of sizes of different bead products. Bead manufacturing is a very sensitive operation where time, machinery, and hand labor can create variability in exact sizing. Variability can also come from the manufacturing or tumbling process. It is very normal for a large variety of beads to be anywhere from .1mm to .5mm different from the specified size. For example, a 6mm gemstone bead from one factory may be 6.2mm in the first shipment, and 5.8mm in the second shipment. Generally we will round to the nearest 1mm. Fortunately, slight variations seldom cause significant issues in beading or jewelry-making.
