RRBD - That is exactly why I asked what a "tolerance I am looking at as his basic result when the machine finishes, and before he goes back and does any [work]". I just wanted to know what I could expect, and based on the answer I got from steveh (and from a machine shop I recently selected) I...
Thank you to everyone who responded but unfortunately what I din't want is exactly what happened. I knew that if I asked this question I would get a bunch of people telling me to figure out how much tolerances I needed and then "tolerance as necessary not as possible". I am well aware of this...
Thanks steveh. Yeah, I realize that tighter tolerances mean hihger prices. I just wanted to know what kind of tolerance I could expect to put on unimportant CNC dimensions without significantly raising prices.

Hi All,
I am looking for a "normal" or "average" tolerance which can be expected when designing for CNC milling or turning. I don't want to know what the best tolerance I can get is, just if I give a CAD file to a CNC machinist what tolerance I am looking at as his basic result when the machine...
