Worksheet #6. Dimensioning examples.

1) The two drawings below show components made from mild steel plate, 15mm thick.
Dimension both drawings so that accurate manufacture can be carried out.

Use machined surfaces as reference (datum) edges.

Holes are to be reamed.
Obtain sizes by measuring the drawing.
All dimensions in millimeters.
