General - Tolerance Iso 2768-mk ((exclusive))
: Represents the Medium tolerance class for linear and angular dimensions (lengths, radii, angles).
Ranges from 0.05 mm for features up to 10 mm, increasing to 0.8 mm for features up to 3000 mm. Perpendicularity:
Note: Dimensions below 0.5 mm are typically handled by specific indications, as general tolerances may vary.
Defines acceptable quality levels, minimizing disputes regarding part acceptability. Summary for Designers and Manufacturers When applying ISO 2768-mK, it is essential to remember: general tolerance iso 2768-mk
Ensures that different machine shops interpret "standard accuracy" identically. Efficiency: Speeds up the CAD and inspection workflow.
You will rarely see (Fine) because it is too expensive to machine for generic features. You will rarely see ISO 2768-c (Coarse) because it usually looks sloppy on a drawing.

By referencing "ISO 2768-mK" in the title block of a technical drawing, engineers apply a blanket set of standardized permissible variations to every dimension that does not have an explicitly stated custom tolerance. Decoding the Components of ISO 2768-mK
: Governed by ISO 2768-1 , this defines permissible deviations for linear and angular dimensions, such as lengths, radii, and chamfers. : Represents the Medium tolerance class for linear
Defines the tolerance class for linear and angular dimensions (Medium).
An individual tolerance indicated on a specific dimension always takes precedence over the general tolerance. Furthermore, general tolerances do not apply to reference dimensions, auxiliary dimensions, or dimensions already covered by other standards.
For non-critical clearance cuts or welded structural frameworks where accuracy is trivial, ISO 2768-mK might be too strict. In those cases, switching the entire drawing to a coarser class like ISO 2768-cL (Coarse/Large) saves significant manufacturing budget. ✅ Summary of Application You will rarely see (Fine) because it is
