Tolerance Guidelines: Plate / Sheet Material tolerances not listed below shall be in accordance with the ASTM, ASME, or AMS specification to which the material was produced and certified. Shearing . Standard plate and sheet width and length tolerance is +/-1/16". . Upon request, special processing for sheared sheet can be done with width and length tolerance of +1/16", -0.  Precision shearing to +/-0.015" is also available upon request. . Sheared expanded metal width and length tolerance is +/-1/8". . Diagonal tolerance is 3/16" maximum on sheared items. Abrasive Saw Cutting . Standard abrasive saw cut plate and sheet width and length tolerance is +1/8",-0". . Abrasive sawed plate may be furnished with up to (2) mill edges. . Diagonal tolerance is 3/16" maximum on saw cut items. Coil Leveling . Tolerance on lengths from the coil line up to 72" long is +1/16", -0.  Lengths beyond 72" are +1/8", -0. . Diagonal tolerance on the sheet coil leveling line is 1/2" maximum. Plasma . Standard plasma cutting tolerances that apply to both the top and bottom surfaces are as follows: .
