- CNC Turning Services China | Custom Turned PartsWhat tolerances can CNC turning hold? Tolerances are confirmed against the drawing during DFM review rather than quoted as blanket values. Feature-specific callouts for OD/ID, concentricity, runout, threads and surface finish are reviewed against the material, stock form and quantity before quoting....
- Metal Stamping Tolerances: Reading A Drawing Before QuotingWhich tolerances can a stamping tool hold? In metal stamping, tolerances are process-dependent. Pierced and blanked features in thin material can typically hold tighter tolerances than formed features, because forming adds springback, thinning and radius variation.

What an engineer still needs from you
- material and material condition (grade, temper)
- material thickness, plus the key diameter, height and wall thickness
- tolerances, burr direction and the visual acceptance standard
- annual volume - it decides whether tooling is single-hit, progressive or transfer
- surface finish, and any secondary machining, annealing or plating
