CNC Machining Tolerances Explained: What's Achievable and What Costs Extra
Tolerance is one of the most consequential decisions in part design - yet it is often set by habit rather than analysis. We explain what CNC machining tolerances mean, what ranges are realistic, and why tightening a tolerance by 0.01 mm can double the cost of a feature.
