    Positional Tolerance

    Thanks again, this is great help. The drawing does not reference any standard, but it was originally from a source in europe. If the date is accurate it is from '92. There are no notes about basic tolerancing, only the note about unspecified tolerances. If I had to guess, this drawing may...

    Positional Tolerance

    Thank you for your replies. Personally, no I wouldn't say I have formal training in GD&T, but many years of practical experience. In a nutshell, we are a manufacturing plant and I disagree with the customers interpretation of the tolerancing on this old drawing. I too have been assuming basic...

    Positional Tolerance

    I'm sorry I did not make myself clear ... these are not my drawings or can I change them in any way. I'm simply trying to interpret what is already there. I'm just not sure how to. Well, I'm pretty sure I get what the drawing is getting at, but them someone says your wrong, doubts creep in...

    Spotting in 6061-T6

    Thanks for your reply ... TVP, basically the parts are anodized as a customer requirement. The short answer is it's a price justification issue, the end customer is essentially paying more for high quality materials and our customer doesn't want to cover that up with just paint. swall, I'm...

    Spotting in 6061-T6

    We are experiencing spotting in turned 6061-T6 bar stock. The bar stock is turned and either anodized or polished with a high cosmetic requirement. In the past, our only resolution has been to use increasingly difficult to obtain "control grain" products (Alcoa's 6061-T6511X or Kaiser's...
