BASIC DIMENSIONS USE G D &T TOLERANCING, THE QUESTION IS I HAVE BASIC DIMENSIONS COMING FROM X & Y AXIS. AM I SUPPOSED TO "CUT" THE TOLERANCE IN HALF WHEN DIMENSIONING THE BASIC DIMENSION? example X AND Y ARE BOTH [2.077] THE TRUE POSITION CALLOUT IS ALLOWING UP TO .015 SHOULD I USE .0075 FOR X AND .0075 FOR MY Y TOLERANCE?
We have a large wall chart that gives the position so people don't have to do the math. If they can rwad the chart they can determine the tru position. It's sad really. I ordered the chart from Tec-Ease because I was tired of explaining it.....to engineers mostly. The chart has worked out well AND I don't get bugged for help to questions certain people should know already. Maybe not the best solution but it works for me. I also have a position calculator in Excel on the desktop of every PC in the quality lab. I've found if I make it really easy for them and I use bright colors and pictures I get better results.
