Login with my Xometry account ISO 2768-mK vs specific tolerances
l
Hey guys, I’m getting some pushback from our shop lead. I’ve been dimensioning every single feature on a new manifold block because I’m paranoid about fitment, but he says the drawing is “unreadable” and I should just use a general note. If I just call out ISO 2768-mK in the title block, is that actually enough to cover things like hole-to-hole distances and basic flatness for a mating surface, or am I asking for trouble? I don’t want to get parts back that technically pass but don’t bolt up.
