standard callout for "stock size" in drawings 3

[pavvpk]

Hi

What is correct way of specifying stock size for machining print. For example if holes need to be drilled on a 1/4" thick plate.

- Reference the dimension in parenthesis "()"
For example - (.25)/(.250) - depending on level of tolerance looking for stock.
OR
- calling out "STOCK" after the dimension?
For example - .25 STOCK / .250 STOCK

thank you very much,

I just came across a part we're being contracted to manufacture and in their notes, it states:

"MAXIMUM PLATE MAXIMUM AS ROLLED PLATE THICKNESS SHALL NOT EXCEED 3.00
THICKNESS INCHES."

A quick glance through the drawing seems to indicate the part will not exceed 2.25 at it's thickest.

That leaves things open but yet... controlled. I thought that may be a solution for some circumstances this topic addresses.
