For a cylinder the tolerance zone is the space within a cylinder equal in diameter to the tolerance value and perpendicular to the datum plane.
The tolerance zone is the space within a cylinder equal in diameter to the tolerance value and coaxial with the datum axis.

 Including Geometric Feature Variations in Tolerance Analysis of Mechanical Assemblies
Geometric feature variations are the result of variations in the shape, orientation or location of part features as defined in ANSI Y14.5M-1982 tolerance standard [ANSI 1982].
Geometric feature controls allow the designers to specify limits on the form or orientation of a feature on a part, which are not available through the use of size tolerances alone.
Geometric disturbances propagate through the joints along the constrained directions, that is, in the direction of the geometric degrees of freedom (F axes in figure 8).

 Tolerances
Once the Geometric Tolerance dialog box appears, the procedures for creating a geometric tolerance are the same in Part, Assembly, and Drawing modes.
Once a geometric tolerance is chosen, the Geometric Tolerance dialog box will appear with options to change the geometric tolerance type, datum references, tolerance values, and symbols.
Also, note that if the Type of geometric tolerance is changed, datum reference information will be removed from the existing geometric tolerance or the settings under Datum Refs will become unavailable, depending on what information is proper for that particular type of geometric tolerance.

 Geometrical Tolerances
Geometric tolerances specify the maximum variation that is allowed in form or position from true geometry.
The geometric tolerance is, in essence, the width or diameter of tolerance zone within which a surface or axis of hole or cylinder can lie which results in resulting feature being acceptable for proper function and interchangeability.
If a tolerance of form is not specified on a drawing for a feature, then the feature as made will be acceptable regardless of form variation.

Tolerance stack-up analysis will require analytical reasoning and a careful consideration of what is physically possible, which is what the end of chapter 6 and all of chapter 7 (as well as all of Chapter 9) is about.
Once you decide that, if none of the geometric tolerances are factors, you average the MMC and LMC of the features to convert them to equal bilaterally toleranced dimensions to be plugged into the route/circuit being run.
If a geometric tolerance, such as position or perpendicularity is a factor, you first calculate the inner and outer boundary of the collective effects of the size limits of the feature and the geometric tolerance that applies at that size.

 Geometric Tolerancing and SPC - Calculating position upper and lower control limits [Elsmar Cove Forum Index (Ar)] - ...
If the geometric tolerance is constant one can predict capability by applying the appropriate distribution function that best fits the skewed true position deviations and transforming the data.
If the geometric tolerance is variable you can use a method that compares the (USL plus the Mean variable tolerance "bonus tolerance" minus the Mean geometric deviation) to (three times the square root of the combined variances for size and geometric deviation).
In the case where the tolerance itself is variable (by permitting bonus geometric tolerance relative to feature size) I personally don't reccomend the method sited by Marty Ambrose with what I know of the shortcomings of various methods predicting the capability of processes with variable tolerances.

 Advantages of Hub­Mounted On­the­Car Brake Lathes Compared to Caliper­Mounted Designs
Compliance with all refinishing OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) tolerances and specifications requires the lathe to be process­capable and generate the required geometric accuracy of the refinished braking surfaces.
One caliper­mount brake lathe manufacturer suggests concentrating on refinishing the braking surfaces parallel to the brake pads even though the resulting surfaces may not be perpendicular to the spindle or parallel to the rotor hat.
Note that it is not necessary to align the two rotational axes coaxial to obtain a geometrically correct rotor, but most hub­mount brake lathe workholding adapters tend to self­center when they are mounted to the rotor hat using the lug nuts or lug bolts.

 GT   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In the perspective of applying the universal measure in GT, the orientation tolerance should be first completely studied due to its simplicity compared to profile, location and runout tolerance.
For the application of orientation tolerance, there are lots of different scenarios in terms of the combination of controlled feature and datum feature, which result in different type of tolerance zone.
Papers regarding the geometric tolerance application will be explored in next month.
