Tolerances Explained in CNC Machining (Defining for production)

In this video on tolerances in CNC machining, we'll go over some common issues engineers and designers encounter when defining tolerances for production. Design for assembly, over(all) tolerancing and conflicting requirements in relation to tolerances are discussed. We'll also provide solutions to these tolerance issues.
0:00 Intro. The issues we'll discuss.
0:23 Design for assembly. First, you'll learn why (some) parts won't fit together after giving them the same tolerance.
1:21 Over tolerancing. Second, we'll discuss why you shouldn't over tolerance your parts.
4:07 Conflicting requirements. Finally, you'll learn about conflicting requirements in relation to cosmetic or surface requirements etc.

I see a vernier caliper thumbnail and I click, like a moth to a flame. I love to measure.

Great Job on Tolerancing. Keep using a video training to explain Tolerancing. Geometric Tolerancing is also good!

Love this channel! How much tolerance is actually needed for things to actually fit? why more in certain instances?
