Thank you! Yes, machining with custom tolerances can be more expensive than using standard ISO or other commonly recognized tolerances.
Custom tolerances often require specialized tooling, additional setup time, and more frequent quality checks to ensure precision. This results in longer machining times and higher labor costs.
Additionally, custom tolerances may increase scrap rates if parts don’t meet the exact specifications, further impacting costs.
On the other hand, standard tolerances are generally more cost-effective as they align with existing processes and tooling, allowing for more efficient production.
