2.5 Special Attachments These made-to-order products require careful consideration. Should a manufacturer supply them, or should you make them in house? Here are some points to weigh: High Accuracy The most common requirement is the height from the guide rail to the upper edge of the A or K attachment. The “ground upper surface” type of Plus α Alpha attachments has high accuracy. The tolerance is approximately 0.2 mm, depending on the chain size and manufacturer. For standard attachments, the tolerance range is wider: about two to three times that of the Plus α Alpha attachments. During normal service, the chain will wear, and the height will change.
