Hey Joe, I have this part and

decided to use the Bonus
tolerance concept. It ends
out that we were having issues
because the bonus tolerance
caused perpendicularity
issues. How should I deal with
the problem?

Go back to the way you used to dimension, using bonus tolerance is a great concept but
A with the added tolerance is added perpendicularity error.
Limit the maximum amount of Bonus tolerance you can have. This will limit the amount of
B tolerance that can be applied to the bore.

How do you
limit Bonus Tolerance?

Under the FEATURE CONTROL FRAME add the words MAX BONUS TOL .005 (for .005͟ bonus
A tolerance)
Look at the sketch above and notice the added section before the datum callout. This is the
B way to place a limit for the perpendicularity tolerance.
After the geometric tolerance in the FEATURE CONTROL FRAME add the word MAX .005
C
You have to work it out mathematically using the geometric tolerance and the material
D condition modifiers.
