If I want to build something and I want it to be 23/48" ± 1/24" how would I write that? Because the way I understand it x/48" would imply a tolerance of ± 1/48".

    If your tolerance is 1/24 your precision isn't fine enough enough to record 23/48.

    23/48 has a built in tolerance of +/- 1/96, because outside of that range the measurement would read as either 22/48 or 24/48.
