Hello Friend,

Every Thursday, our Industry Readlines email features interesting, helpful, or funny things from around the technical world. Whether you are in design, machining, production, or inspection this will be a great weekly read.

From the GD&T Basics Team: What Tolerances Apply to Chamfers and Edge Breaks

In this video, Jason walks through several examples to explain the various ways chamfers, edge breaks, and countersinks are dimensioned on a drawing and explains what tolerances apply under the ASME standards when none are specified in the field of view.
