EXAMPLES

H = All Minus tolerance e.g. 45 mm dia H9 = + 0/- 0.062

J = Tolerance divided e.g. 45 mm dia J9 = +/- 0.031

K = All Plus tolerance e.g. 45 mm dia K9 = + 0.062 / - 0
The K tolerance is usually only applied to larger diameter bars (Over 75mm)

H8 = Precision Ground

H9 = Bright Drawn

H10 = Smooth Turned
