ENGINEERING GUIDE

Tolerances & Drawings

Identify the dimensions that affect fit and function so manufacturing and inspection work to the same requirements.

Identify critical dimensions

Call out features that control fit, sealing, motion or location, and explain their function. Other dimensions can follow a drawing-wide tolerance agreed for the project; the tightest tolerance is rarely needed everywhere.

Capability depends on the part

Size, wall thickness, geometry, material, process, finishing and measurement method all affect achievable tolerance. We review actual drawings rather than promise one universal number online.

Make inspection requirements clear

Include drawing revision, datums, critical features, measurement locations and acceptance method in the RFQ. If you need a report, mention it before quotation so scope and cost can be agreed.
