    Guidance on Slot tolerances

    Thanks that's makes it more clean with you explanation, Sorry the diameter symbol is wrong and should not be there. I recreated this to fast from my actual part.

    Guidance on Slot tolerances

    I have a slot I'm trying to figure out, past drawings have a MSS on the slot and making a new Datum then a width single segment FCF. I think its wrong and should just have two position controls on the witch and height and get right of the MSS all together. the slot depth is a whopping .13 on the...

    Profile Tolerance to 3 places with defining dimensions to 4 places

    I'd be the one griping since my past practices to match the decimal places. I trying to understand Y14.5 better and this is a great way to understand from people who really understand GD&T and use it daily

    Profile Tolerance to 3 places with defining dimensions to 4 places

    So what is being said here is no, the 4 place dimensions do not matter because we just have a .006 tolerance zone?

    Profile Tolerance to 3 places with defining dimensions to 4 places

    Say the Profile is .006 around and the points being called out are such 1.8220 Basic, 2.3750 Basic, 2.654 basic to define this area and even the radius is 4 places to .0625.

    Profile Tolerance to 3 places with defining dimensions to 4 places

    Can anyone explain why you would have a 3 place profile tolerance but than all the defining geometry is 4 places. I have yet to try to explain fully why this is a bad practice and it only control you to 3 places. my Peers say to just do it but i believe its not correct. I need more back up...
