I am looking at a project using limits and fits and was wondering if you can apply a tolerance to a dimension :
eg : instead of 20mm diameter, can you have 19.60 - 19.99 ?

Re: Tolerancing on Quick Turn
Not really - whatever you draw is (or should be) what you get out of the machine.
So if you draw a 20mm diameter, the machine offsets are setup correctly and the tool geometry (eg, tip radius) matches the software then you will get a 20mm diameter bar.
If you want it slightly undersize, then I'd favour drawing at the lower tolerance so that any push-off or wear will keep the part within tolerance.
