Tolerances and Standards for CNC Milling Processes
| Description | General Standard/Tolerance |
|---|---|
| Maximum Part Size | Up to 80”x48”x24” for milled parts |
| Minimum Feature Size | May vary depending on the chosen material and part geometry. The standard is 0.020″. |
| Distance Dimensions | For features involving location (position, symmetry, concentricity) and size (diameter, height, width, length) ±0.005″. |
| Orientation and Form Dimensions | 0.12” ±0.005”, ½ 0 Angularity. Kindly contact Xc machining for dimensions beyond standards. |
| Precision Tolerances | Xc Machining can manufacture your parts with tight tolerances using your design specifications. |
| Edge Condition | Breaking and deburring sharp edges occur by default. If there are edges you need to remain sharp, note it on your design file. |
| Surface Finish | As machined is the standard surface finish, for the additional finish, kindly specify during quotation. |
