The Geometrical Tolerancing Desk Reference

Geometrical tolerancing is the standard technique that designers and engineers use to specify and control the form, location and orientation of the features of components and manufactured parts. This innovative book has been created to simplify and codify the use and understanding of geometrical tolerancing. It is a complete, self contained reference for daily use. An indispensable guide for anyone who creates or needs to understand technical drawings.

• The only desktop geometrical tolerancing reference
• For all CAD users, engineers, designers, drafting professionals and anyone who needs to specify or interpret product specifications to international standards
• Simple and quick to use, visually indexed, large format presentation for ease of use

Drafting professionals, Design engineers, Mechanical engineers, Metrologists, CAD/CAM practitioners, Production engineers, Design engineering students
