    LMC dimensions

    Can anyone give me an explanation of a LMC dimensions and why a bonus is added to it?

    Thanks,
    There is no such thing as a problem, only a challenge

    It is opposite of MMC. As your feature of size departs MMC to LMC the difference is your additional tolerance. In a nut shell that is what it is. As far as why a bonus is added, you simply get additional tolerance. If you did not it would not be called LMC it would be called RFS but that is implied when no modifier is called out.

          The MMC, LMC and RFS concepts can be puzzling at first. Especially if you want to learn more about them from just the standards.

          There is a good book from James D. Meadows: Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (ISBN 0-8247-9309-9). Taught me a lot.

            LMC = Least Material Condition
            In a hole, the hole is at its high limit of tolerance.
            A stud, at the low limit of tolerance.

            Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing is used to more easily simulate function of a part. When using standard dimensioning some functional parts may be rejected.
            When in doubt, post code. A second set of eyes might see something you missed.

              The "Measurement of Geometric Tolerance's in Manufacturing" by James Meadows is a real good book also...

                            Hey Don,

                            I just wanted to let you know that you better be using 4.1 in class...

                            All of the PC's were upgraded to XP and only v4.1 has been installed. You better get busy getting accustomed to it because the incoming rack is over-flowing . . .
