Any good gd&t tutorial suggestions ?

[opse0]

Hi all,
Could anybody suggest any good gd&t book titles that are not too cluttered or complicated, and that have good application exercises?
I've seen a bit of some e learning sites...
any prefered ones ?
Hope to get some replies.
Thanks

Geo-Metrics III by Lowell Foster. Hands down the best book on GD & T out there. Check

for the cheapest prices on books I've seen on the internet.

Good Luck!

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing: Applications and Techniques for Use in Design, Manufacturing, and Inspection
by James D. Meadows

It more of a "textbook" than Foster's book but gives some very detailed explanations of GD&T concepts as well as some examples that aren't found in either the ASME standard or the other guides to GD&T. A copy of the ASME Y14.5M-1994 standard is also good to have around. I actually refer to the standard more often than any of the other GD&T books on my bookshelf.

Also chack out [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tec-ease.com/gdt-tips.htm [/url] for some good GD&T tips.

Good luck...

opse0,

Go the the source. Get a copy of ASME Y14.5M-1994.

The actual, official standard is fairly readable. Any time any other references disagree with the standard, they are wrong.
