Both circular and total runout are usually economical tolerances to use when controlling the location of cylinders with respect to a datum axis. The runout controls do not, however, control the location of planes and contours even when basic dimensions are applied. Using Profile of a surface rather than runout ties the surface location to the basic dimension.
