GENERAL TOLERANCES: ISO 2768-MK-E Alternatively:
For production shops, understanding this shorthand reduces errors and clarifies expectations. For designers, using it correctly (and knowing its limits) produces clear, manufacturable drawings without over-tolerancing. iso 2768-mk-e
– Same values as perpendicularity. Circular runout – 0.2 mm (class K). Total runout – Not defined; must be specified individually. Example: A 200 mm long machined surface without a flatness callout → allowed flatness deviation = 0.3 mm. 3.3 "E" – External Radii & Chamfer Heights (ISO 2768-1 Annex A) The "E" instructs that tolerances for external radii and chamfer heights follow the same "M" class limits as linear dimensions, but applied to the radius or chamfer size. Circular runout – 0
