WHAT THIS SCREEN ANSWERS

Surface finish is a functional requirement that should be separated from a decorative or generic process request. The page keeps roughness and critical-surface intent visible before process conversations. A credible early estimate makes its basis easy to challenge.

Material, geometry, measurement, directionality, cost, and supplier capability can change what is feasible. Confirm function, drawing callout, measurement method, process, cost, and supplier capability. It can overturn an otherwise comfortable result.

Surface finish is a functional requirement that should be separated from a decorative or generic process request. Material, geometry, measurement, directionality, cost, and supplier capability can change what is feasible. Keep units and entered values traceable to the source that supplied them.

The page keeps roughness and critical-surface intent visible before process conversations. Confirm function, drawing callout, measurement method, process, cost, and supplier capability. The decision remains specific to this application because surface finish is a functional requirement that should be separated from a decorative or generic process request. Turn the remaining unknowns into a short verification list.
