Tolerances generally followed for tooling design are
- A. 5-10% of work piece tolerance
- B. 11-30% of work piece tolerance
- C. 31-50% of work piece tolerance
- D. none of these
Answer: C. 31-50% of work piece tolerance
Explanation: Tooling and gauge design often follows the 'rule of ten', where the gauge tolerance is 10% of the workpiece tolerance. However, for tooling design itself, a wider range such as 31-50% is often cited in textbooks.
