As a machinist who works constantly with engineers to make their parts, taking the time to talk to the people who make the things you design will end up saving you both time, money, and headaches.

This was infinitely more clear than my engineering lectures at school. Great video

How on earth did i not find this channel earlier, i've been struggling with tolerances for ages now.

If you are reading this, I hope today is much like a clearance fit - easy to get through, with lots of light at the end of the tunnel.

This was excellent! Perhaps as a suggestion a video on GD&T, and another on statistical tolerance stacks and Cpk values?

Thanks! Our next video will be position tolerance and we will do more GD&T as well. We discuss material selection for fasteners in our “Screw It!” video, and check out the companion blog post for material compatibility and strength charts. For calculating forces etc., we can do another video. I recommend getting Shigley’s Machine Design book, that has the info you need. Good luck with your career plans! We are happy to hear the videos help :)

Since I first started on Mechanical design this was one of the most challenging things to understand. I remember feeling incapable of imagining how these tolerances would behave beyond my CAD models. And that's why this video is so valuable. Thanks!

Thank you for this. I think just about any machinists, engineer, or just general builder has encountered these and has some familiarity with them, however to see them lined up next to each and visually put together is a huge help with mental approximation!

That RC3 fit was oddly satisfying

Wow, completely blown away by the quality and content of these videos.

This is one of the best video I’ve seen with respect to fits and tolerance

Great video! Thank you I have been trying to find resources on how to determine an acceptable level of tolerances but most fall laughably short. Yours was interesting to watch and informative.

Absolutely excellent video, great use of examples and explanations. Thank you!

Thank you for clarifying that! Definitely helps a lot on the design side.

An extremely helpful video if you're not a mechanical engineer. I am just an enthusiast who is designing a big thrower flashlight and needs to know the tolerance necessary for the aluminium reflector to slide into the aluminium body of the flashlight. Although this uses the US standard I could see that I need RC3 that would means space of 0.08-0.1 mm between the parts.

Hi there, thank you for the insightful video! After watching, I'm left wondering how you design the strength of your interference fit. If for instance you want to calculate the press force required for installation, or the torque that can be transmitted by the interaction. I'm also curious when a retaining compound would be used, and how that would affect the calculations.

This. I always wonder how they're made. Nice explanation

We have a part we're working on now with a .003"-.005" interference fit, a bronze bushing going into an aluminum housing. Had to heat the aluminum in an oven and chill the bronze with dry ice because the aluminum already has marking on it which can't withstand more than 200°f. That's definitely a fit that isn't intended to ever come apart.

You can get a running fit with a drill if the feeds and speeds are correct.

great vid

Do you think you guys could do a video on the types of engineers a company would be hiring for and what their job description might be? I am asking as someone who has worked in manufacturing for over 10 years and has been a CNC programmer/ machinist for the past 8. I have been thinking about going back to school but am still not exactly sure what to go back to school for. I just know I am ready to move up in my career. Great videos and thank you!

what a great vid

Another great video. Does anyone know where one can get a set of parts to demonstrate fit classes? I always recommend new engineers keep a set of calipers and feeler gauges at their desk to help visualize specified tolerances. A set of class of fit demonstrators would be another fantastic learning tool to keep handy.

topic idea: machine tool inspection, the different methods used for ways like dovetails, linear rails and the system to actuate like pneumatic, trapezoidal screw, ball screw - and how to check for wear and alignment, backlash and what to do :-) could be a mini series, like the tolerance classes of lead screws and off the shelve parts, preloads etc.

Great explanation , could you guys also make one for how to choose GD&T tolerances ( type of tolerances & it's numeric values)

can you pls let us know when to select what kind of fit??

Sure, is there a specific topic within metal cutting you are interested in?

One thing about this video that doesn't quite sit right with me (maybe it's because I'm used to metric and it's different in Imperial Standarts) is the portrayal of the fits. A high tolerance doesn't mean that parts will end up having lots of clearance - it means that those that do don't go into the waste bin. The workshop will still try to match your indicated nominal diameter. They will not install special "worse" tooling to give you a nice wide range of rattly fits, they will simply not remove that many parts in quality control. Of course I am aware of the concept of intersection fits and press fits, which just mean that the parts "share" a hypothetical space, but the choice of a press fit does not influence the machining cost at all. Tolerance is the determining factor and can run any clearance fit, intersection fit and press fit into a high price range. Yes, even the loosy goosey one. You can have a +0,1 mm to +0,105 mm tolerance dimension on a bore, and that will make it quite expensive, even though it clearly is a clearance fit. Why would you need that? Maybe your part needs to keep a constant oil film on its surface that has to have a very precise volume and flow properties. Just keep that in mind. The choice of tolerance is the thing that makes the accountants angry, not the choice of clearance, intersection or press fit.

Nice

Please make video on GD & T detailed one.

Surface finish plays a huge roll in fit.

Great video! Hienosti tehty video! Ihmetyttää tuo Tarkka nimi...?

How does interference fit work- like , how does it make it permanent? what's stopping it from coming apart?

I would like to know why Engineers will place tolerances on a print, (example) .500+.005-0.000 ,and/or .250+0.000-.005, as to opposed stating the mean tolerance along with the acceptable tolerances. It does make for a confusing adaptation of which dimension you are measuring and what the tolerances are.

@tarkka

4 жыл бұрын

I think some engineers use this convention to more clearly convey the "design intent." To use your example, the engineer is possibly saying "I want a slip fit on a .500 pin." The problem is that some engineers (and possibly machinists) start to think that 0.5005 (very close to the nominal) is "more right" than 0.5025 (right in the middle of the tolerance band) and end up aiming for the nominal dimension. Instead, you really want to keep parts as close to the middle of the tolerance limits as possible.

Rc6 can be repeated using a drill just under the finish diameter repeatedly. I’ve cheated 1” reamed holes using a 63/64” bit then finishing with a 1” bit using a .007” feed. Gotta do what ya gotta do

Good

how much clearance is on an rc6 fit?

Could you talk about different machines?

Can someone explain to me @2:44 why the shaft is 0.4295+0.000/-0.010 while the limits are -0.008/+0.018.? Why is the shaft automatically reduced by 0.012?

@ProfessorGreen900

3 жыл бұрын

The Shaft is reduced by 0.0080 from the hole dim (as stated in the tolerance limit, which is -0.0080), so the shaft diameter becomes 0.4375-0.0080= 0.4295. Now a shaft of 0.4295 can can surely fit inside the hole of 0.4375. Now with that shaft, you can go more 0.0100 smaller (extra play) as per the tolerance limits, (difference between -0.008 and -0.018 = -0.0100).

@tarkka

For CNC machines an effective way to achieve tight tolerances is in-control compensation. We can do a video on this and other ways to achieve tight tolerances.

There are so many KZread channels, Tom Stanton, Lock Picking Lawyer, Adam Savage, to name just three, that improperly use the word tolerance to mean clearance. As a retired machinist, it drives me nuts. I always leave comments trying to inform them, but to no avail.

"They'll tolerate it."

You mean the software manual does not explain fits and clearances? I am flabergasted that it does not. Always remember that two objects can not occupy the same space at the same time. I like the way they tolerance cylinderical fits with plus plus, minus minus instead of plus a value minus nothing. It insures that you will always have some clearance.

Tolerance is useful in mechanical design

Hopefully this applies to 3D printing.
