Quick reference
Common precision-manufacturing terms, demystified. A full glossary & tech-spec library is coming soon.
Arithmetic average roughness — most common surface-finish metric, in µm.
ISO shaft tolerance bands. h6 is tighter than h7 and typically requires grinding.
Material Test Certificate — chemical and mechanical proof of supplied stock.
Design for Manufacturability — drawing review to optimise cost and yield.
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing — symbolic language for form and position.
