Surprisingly, in the United States
there are no industry-wide standards for the manufacture or repair
of propellers. This being the case, Digital Prop
Shop has adopted portions of the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) 484/2 standard to determine target tolerances for the
propellers that we repair and tune. The ISO 484/2 Accuracy Classes and
Pitch/Position Tolerances to which we adhere are summarized in the following
charts. |
ISO 484/2 Accuracy Classes:

Our "Shop Standard" is
Class
I Tolerances, as we feel this offers our customers the best
price/performance value. We will provide you with an easy to read color report which rates
your propeller relative to these tolerances both before and after the work is
performed. |
