In JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), there are four grades: . These tolerances are further subdivided based on, for example, dimension types, including length dimensions, chamfer dimensions, angle dimensions, perpendicularity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;\">While the values for general tolerances are determined based on their grade, they can differ depending on the component\u2019s dimension. For example, 1\u00b10.1 and 100\u00b10.1 have the same tolerance range, but when considering the ratio in relation to length, the difference in precision becomes 100 times greater. Therefore, JIS manages dimension precision uniformly by setting tolerance values for each division of standard dimensions within the drawing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000;\">When you check the above tolerance table, you can see that<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000;\">the tolerance values change based on the reference length.
