Machining parts with concentricity requirements
M
Hi everyone! For an assembly with tight concentricity requirements, I’ve run into issues caused by stacked tolerances during assembly. Does anyone have tips for specifying concentricity in such cases? Is it better to define an overall concentricity tolerance for the assembly, or stick with individual part tolerances?
