Bonus Tolerance

Bonus tolerance is a benefit of geometric tolerancing and dimensioning.  In this article we will see how you can tolerance a fit while using the benefit of bonus tolerance to reduce manufacturing cost. There are five types of geometric tolerances that can have bonus tolerance: Straightness Angularity Perpendicularity Parallelism Position Straightness Bonus tolerance is only …
