These capacities state what each machine accepts. They are not tolerances committed on a drawing. A figure at the upper limit of a range remains subject to material, geometry and fixturing, and is confirmed at quotation.
Tolerances
General tolerances, achievable tolerance by process and the ISO 286-1 IT grades are set out as figures.
