CNC Machining Tolerances: Why Tighter Isn’t Always Better

CNC Machining Tolerances Compared

CNC Machining Tolerances: Why Tighter Isn’t Always Better One of the most common misconceptions in CNC machining is that tighter tolerances automatically make a better part. They don’t. A tolerance should be tight enough for the part to function correctly—but no tighter than necessary. Every time you tighten a tolerance, you potentially add machining time, […]
