What is GD&T in 10 Minutes

[@norestforthewicked9538]

I just want to state the fact he is explaining pages worthy of standards in a one shot - one take video, hats off to you sir

[@xz3693]

I just want to state the fact that he is not explaining what GD&T is, but rather why it's useful. He doesn't explain anything about how it works, what the symbols mean, how to use true positioning, etc... My hat doesn't come off that easy

[@antialias4205]

[@TrinityTrails]

@@xz3693 Read the video title. Key word: "What". Not "How" is nowhere in the title. Lord have mercy people never read instructions anymore do they......the man did exactly what the title says..smh

I was just thinking the same thing, I am only 2 minutes in

[@MrMoeAl]

You are meant to be an educator man! I love how you explain from zero without assuming we know anything which is always comfortable to brush off things we know and build on it with new information.

[@tomnguyen6839]

These are the BEST videos on GD&T. I am a Mechanical Engineer (30+ yrs) and now a QC Engineer by the way. Thank you and great work.

[@joeyGalileoHotto]

As a recent ME graduate, I have found that a lot of jobs in my field want you to know GD&T and have been studying it and trying to apply it; So far it has been very challenging and not very intuitive, and this is the clearest explanation I've seen so far. Thank you sir!

[@AmericanMakerCNC]

GD&T newb here. Best GD&T intro video I found so far. The way you explained mating surfaces as interfaces clarified for me what datums are and how they are used. You got my sub. I'll be watching more.

[@danbenson7587]

I’m a retired mechanical engineering manager. We did not have assembly problems with the classical tolerance system. Converted to GD&T because that was the way the wind was blowing. Led to endless ‘discussions’ among the designers and burned through hours trying to figure it out. (And we had GD&T classes). On balance, it was a loser for our (mainly cylindrical) parts and assemblies. Use GD&T where needed, where NEEDED. I think a thesaurus of GD&T assemblies and parts might be useful as a reference.

Awesome video.. I know zero about this stuff, but understood 100% of this video. Really worth watching.

[@edwardalexander2569]

Great Video. I think one thing that I would have added to point 6, is that its important that all people involved WANT to use GDnT, instead of traditional methods of tolerancing. Also its worth noting that the trade off in using GDnT is more time spent interpreting drawings at every level. Once you have your head around the system its really not an issue though

Amazing. Simple. Great Explanation.

[@smartbikestv8827]

The intro explaning the essence of geometric function is great: Only in the contex of an assembly a function is realized. But no one is bothered by the lack of an explicit functional specification. I'm afraid so it can't be surprising that the presented gd&t of a single part has errors: E.g. datum B and C are equal? Take care for the function: Every real feature of a datum has a toleance itself. This must be taken into account when calculating the calling geometric toleances! By the way one last question: What are the mainfunctions of a geometric feature? It would be very helpful to clearify this first.

[@liujack4271]

Thanks for so professional explains, very useful!

[@b5maddog]

Amazing video! Very helpful and clear with your explanation. Thank you very much.

[@felixfigueroa]

GD&T is "Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing" Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing provides a comprehensive system for symbolically defining the geometrical tolerance zone within which features must be contained. It provides an accurate transmission of design specifications among the three primary users of engineering drawings; design, manufacturing, and quality assurance groups. Some techniques introduced in ANSI/ASME Y14.5M have been accepted by ISO. These techniques include projected tolerance zone, the three-plane datum concept, total runout tolerance, multiple datums, and datum targets. Although Y14.5M follows ISO practice closely, there are still differences between ISO and U.S. practice.

[@bronzeowl9]

I'm not sure yet what the difference is between traditional D&T and GD&T. If I receive a diagram with both kinds of D&T, like the one at 7:44, then why can't I use the traditional GD&T to guarantee that the parts fit and function together? Is traditional D&T more of a soft guideline or something?

[@bronzeowl9]

I think I get it from this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaHCaXx9qp2Fm9k In that video, for the traditional D&T, the circle's position's tolerance depends on lines that have tolerances themselves. This could throw things way off

[@CassioHMDS]

Thank you for your explanation... Best Regards 🇧🇷

[@naveenfatima68]

Amazing way of teaching

[@phillipmaser132]

Very Nice, however, how are the parts made? Is the clearance "0.005" or "0.001" between parts. How is the temperature coefficient effect this design? Does GD&T include temp as a parameter or is this separate.

How to overcome the issue is that not everyone knows about the "system" and are capable of reading and understanding how to use and apply it. What is the strategy for overcoming this? I have always felt that this topic is not covered well at all in any technical/engineering school.

[@odysseasa8542]

Hello I would like to thank you for your video are very informative. I have a question about the tolerance's numbers. For example all these symbols and letters are understandable for me but how someone will take the decision for the size of the tolerances or what is the suitable tolerance for him? ok for the bearing or o rings etc you can find specific tolerances tables... But when you have to take a decision for example... to fit a rectangle to a pocket, how can you know What size (tolerance) should have your rectangle? I can think a few questions as a gui to help me to decide, like do I have a thermal expansion? For what use do I need the assembling etc.... Is any book can help me? Thank you
