Deviations range from 0.2mm (up to 100mm length) to 0.5mm (over 1000mm).
The existence of this chart does not mean you should never add explicit tolerances. iso 2768-mh tolerance chart
ISO 2768 simplifies drawing tolerancing by defining default tolerances applicable where no specific tolerance is provided. It reduces drawing clutter, promotes consistent interpretation, and helps control manufacturing costs by assigning broader or tighter tolerances depending on acceptable variability. The standard covers two parts: ISO 2768‑1 (general tolerances — linear and angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications) and ISO 2768‑2 (geometrical tolerances). Within ISO 2768‑1, four tolerance grades are specified: fine (f), medium (m), coarse (c), and very coarse (v). “m” (medium) is the default commonly used for general mechanical engineering where moderate precision is required. Deviations range from 0
