## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are available for the depth adjustment mechanism?
**A**: Our depth adjustment mechanisms are manufactured using high-quality carbon steel for standard applications or corrosion-resistant stainless steel for environments requiring enhanced durability and hygiene.

### Q: How does the calibration scale ensure precise depth control?
**A**: The integrated calibration scale provides visual reference points that work in conjunction with the lead screw/rack system, allowing operators to make repeatable, accurate depth adjustments with minimal measurement error.

### Q: What maintenance does the locking nut/clamp require?
**A**: The locking nut/clamp requires periodic inspection for wear and proper tension. Regular lubrication of threaded components and verification of clamping force ensures consistent depth retention during operation.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 286-2:2010 (GEOMETRICAL PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS - LIMITS AND FITS)
- ANSI B4.1-1967 (PREFERRED LIMITS AND FITS FOR CYLINDRICAL PARTS)
