Yes, machining with custom tolerances is typically more expensive than using standard ISO tolerances. Custom tolerances often require additional setup, precise adjustments, and quality checks, increasing both machining time and production costs. Standard tolerances streamline processes, making them more cost-effective.

Thank you! Yes, machining with custom tolerances can be more expensive than using standard ISO or other commonly recognized tolerances.

Custom tolerances often require specialized tooling, additional setup time, and more frequent quality checks to ensure precision. This results in longer machining times and higher labor costs.

Additionally, custom tolerances may increase scrap rates if parts don’t meet the exact specifications, further impacting costs.

On the other hand, standard tolerances are generally more cost-effective as they align with existing processes and tooling, allowing for more efficient production.

Hello, Dina.
When reading a technical drawing that uses standard (imperial) measurements, We generally stick with the units provided in the drawing. However, we can also change the calibration and perform the metric measurements. Additionally, conversion option is always there.

We use First article inspections procedures! Plus we have CMM machines and other digital measuring equipment’s and we give Globally recognized 9001 certificates along with your marching orders.

ISO 2768 standardizes tolerances for linear and angular dimensions, ensuring consistent quality across manufacturing. It’s crucial for industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices where precision and uniformity are essential. This standard simplifies design and production, reduces errors, and ensures part interchangeability globally.
