Great *visual* GD&T tips (eg Concentricity + Circularity ~= Runout... sort of)

.
I'm not promoting - I'm just sharing a great resource I found for *visual* G&T tips and explanations: http://www.tec-ease.com/gdt-tips.htm
I am more visual than I am wordy in order to understand things. This is a goodie:

  • I E-mailed Don last Thursday as you suggested, I also included “A part that passed Concentricity, Circularity and Circular Runout would failed Cylindricity and Total Runout due to taper”.
    So far no response from him…..will see.
    Just to be clear wouldn't you apply the correct tolerance to meet the design intent of the part, lambo? Seems the argument is over semantics........ but I could be missing something. Confused

    What I meant to say was If you do what the video said, potentially you’re rejecting good parts….
  • lambo and inspector212 make a great point. Although the words in the Tip and the video never said circularity + concentricity = total runout, one graphic in the video did show this. The video has been corrected and will be posted shortly. Also, throughout the video terms like "sort of" and "roughly" were used to say this is a handy Tip but technically not exact. Sorry for any confusion that may have been caused by trying to make the topic more understandable.

    In 2006 they/he started to come to prominence & he is not always 100% on the nail but closer than most.

    Thank you for joining us Mr. Don Day.

    Welcome Don, your GD&T Tips helped me many times to win arguments with Eng. Dept.
  • Thanks Michelle.
    ...I talked to some folks who did their on-line course and it was applauded also. Good, simple explanations....


    Are you referring to the Teach yourself the Fundamentals of GD&T Computer based training course?

    I'm debating whether or not to go for it. Most of my knowledge is trial and error and I am sure I am missing big chunks of understanding - can anyone recommend this course or any other one of Don's?

    Thanks, Michelle

    Yes, that is the course I was talking about.
    I haven't used it myself, but I have heard good things about it.
