How to Specify CNC Machining Tolerances: A Practical Guide for Engineers
+/-0.005 mm or ISO 2768? General vs. critical tolerances, GD&T basics, and what actually drives cost in CNC machined parts.
Technical guides written by our engineers in Pune. Tolerances, materials, DFM, surface finishes, quality documentation, and how to source precision parts from India.
+/-0.005 mm or ISO 2768? General vs. critical tolerances, GD&T basics, and what actually drives cost in CNC machined parts.
Strength, machinability, corrosion resistance, anodizing behaviour, and cost compared — with real application examples from our shop floor.
Wall thickness, internal corners, tool access, deep pockets — the most common design mistakes that make 5-axis parts expensive, and how to fix them.
Production Part Approval Process levels 1–5 explained. What each level requires, when to ask for it, and how Indian CNC suppliers handle PPAP for US OEMs.
As-machined vs. bead blast vs. anodize vs. electroless nickel. Surface roughness values explained in plain English with cost and lead time impact.
Vetting suppliers, IP protection, quality documentation, shipping incoterms, customs, and what to expect on lead times and pricing from Indian CNC shops.
