Surface finish is an important consideration on many CNC-machined components, but it is also an area where drawings can easily become more restrictive than necessary. A surface that looks visually smooth is not necessarily suitable for every function, and a surface...

Flatness and parallelism are two common geometric tolerances used on engineering drawings, and although they can look similar at first glance, they control different characteristics of a machined component. Flatness controls the form of an individual surface, while...

Holes are among the most common features found on CNC-machined components.They can also be among the most functionally important. A hole may simply provide clearance for a fastener, or it may locate a dowel, carry a bearing, guide a shaft, provide a sealing surface or...
