tolerances to be achieved.
[Tolerance range is influenced by material thickness, tensile strength of material, material structure, and
[Tolerances on internal contours are easier to maintain than on outer contours.
[As material gage increases, taper condition must be taken into consideration when applying tolerances.
Thinner material will enable tighter tolerances to be achieved,
Lower material tensile strength will enable tighter tolerances to be achieved.Guideline for Fiatness Tolerance

{0.001" - 0.002" per inch)
The degree of flatness is affected by the condition of input material,
configuration of the component, grain direction of material, and
coil crown,
Grinding processes following fineblanking can improve flatness,
parallelism, and improve surface finish conditions.
