Tolerances Explained in CNC Machining (what affects them)

In this video, we’re going to explain tolerances in CNC machining. We’ll go over what the different types of CNC machining are and how they affect tolerances. You’ll learn in detail which parts of the CNC machining process have an effect on tolerances and how to effectively navigate those aspects of the process.
This video is part of a 2-part mini-series on tolerances in CNC machining. The next video will discuss in details some of the problems engineers and designers encounter(and how to solve those) in relation to tolerances and CNC machining.

I'm a mechanical engineer so this stuff was very basic to me but I do appreciate how you break everything down in educating everyone in an industry where so much knowledge is just assumed and never discussed. Most engineers coming straight out of school do NOT know this stuff!

Sad but true

[@JB-dv7ew]

Yup Mech E here, this stuff is not taught in the standard curriculum which is why I'm here haha

I am proud to say that I know this guy a bit from school, and he definitely knows what he is talking about! Chapeau ! :)
