    Sounds like a machinist I wouldn’t want to do business with, unless I’m missing something here

      Half the time any given tolerance isn’t actually important(to the degree they’ve been marked) and are just some standard tolerance placeholder the engineer has put down. Of course, sometimes they are very tight, maybe even tighter than marked. When stuff is integrated it will be worked out.

      It’s almost entirely a joke, but I also legitimately get parts that are physically impossible to control inside any of the designed tolerances because of the quality of raw stock. Garbage in, garbage out and all that.
