Unpopular opinion: Heard a guy at the shop in Toledo say 'tighter tolerances are always better' and honestly, that's how you wreck a part and waste time.
Ngl, chasing a +/- .0002 spec on a bracket that just holds a cover plate added 3 hours to the job for zero real benefit, so when do you guys decide a tolerance is just overkill?

Yeah, that's a good way to burn time and money. Read an article once where an engineer said the goal isn't the tightest tolerance, it's the right tolerance for the job. If the part just sits there, you're just adding cost for no reason. That guy in Toledo is gonna learn the hard way when his projects are always late and over budget.
