Blue Print Reading - intro to tolerancing

[@ericerice761]

I found a job at a metal shop and the only qualification i didnt have was being able to read blue print. All i did was watch your videos to get the basics down and explained in my interview that i used youtube to get to a point they could work with, and they took a chance on me. i know its an old video but if you still check up on it i wanted to thank you.

In different industries and at different levels within those industries the language may differ. My background is mechanical engineering / manufacturing engineering and I have always worked closely with machinists. Generally in the machine shop we talk in thousandths of an inch. So .001 is one thousandth and .01 is 10 thousandths. A "tenth" is typically taken to be .0001 or one ten-thousandth of an inch. Where as .1 would usually be stated as one hundred thousandths. Hope that helps!

Just "shop slang". Learn/make it habit to speak it. Why? Don't = possible mistakes. Especially if you have overseas or illiterate(yes, degree/formal training not necessary) technical people. Not hating on techs/welders/machinists/engrs/mgrs. Just one dirty secret about tech/mfg. Lazyness/illiteracy everywhere. You want to use perfect mathematical terms, then you must hire people, have suppliers and customers of same education level.
