CNC turning tolerance is the difference between the maximum and minimum diameter that can be cut. The maximum diameter is called the design limit and the minimum diameter is called the programmable limit. This refers to the maximum and minimum cutting tool diameters that are allowed by the software
A CNC machine uses a series of numeric values that define various geometric features of a part. These numeric values allow a computer to describe 3D shapes, which can then be cut into parts. The numeric values also control how much material is removed during machining operations such as milling or drilling
The turning tolerance setting allows you to adjust these numeric values so they are accurate for any given part size or shape. If a machine has a bad turning tolerance, it may not be able to produce accurate results for small parts or large jobs with complex shapes. You should check your machine's turning tolerance whenever you want to change its settings for example if you need to make small adjustments or if you want to use different materials for your project
