@@comedyreliefguy5112 3D print tolerance is only really comparable to the same printer with the same settings, and typically the same filament material. Layer lines, thermoplastic cooling shrink, etc., all contribute to how bad 3D printing tolerance actually is; and no, other methods outside of FDM printing aren't much better, they might tighten how out of tolerance their parts are but they all have their own set of problems. Using the same printer, settings, and material means that you end up with all of these variables ending up as a near constant, though it also depends on style of print, such as overall size, surface areas, infill, etc., where the tolerances between print A and print B are acceptable, and this is why 3D printing tolerance is only comparable to itself using identical variables. You also need to measure the parts to determine if tolerance is within given spec, or to at least find what the deviation is if two out-of-tolerance parts otherwise fit well. There's the option to do solid printing with a machining pass for finishing, to bring bad tolerances to widely acceptable tolerances, but you also literally do not see this methodology outside of very niche uses. By the point of doing this, you're better off with just one operation on one machine for less wasted machine time. But by the point of machining something, you're also going to be measuring the tolerances of the parts. Go-no go gauges exist, but how often are you using parts of the same shapes and diameters? The go-no go board that the original comment is suggesting would evolve to be the size of a room throughout all of the projects it would have encompassed. Unless, again as implied earlier, you're only using the _exact_ same shapes and diameters, which is not often unless you're using off-the-shelf parts. The only area where something like this exists is for bolts and nuts, because they're consistent and various areas of the world have widely agreed on systems, and you rarely deviate from those established systems, unfortunately these go-no go sets for bolts and nuts really only exist for common sizes of machine screws, I have yet to see any for any other thread type, where you just have to use calipers and gauges to determine tolerance and two parts to determine fit. And this circles around to how tolerances are actually determined, through actual measurement, rather than a gauge that'll quickly tell you if something fits or not. Given the scope of the issue and how easy it is to just measure things with common machine shop tools, the want to have a slip-on go-no go gauge for everything is just pure laziness, and honestly a waste of time and material; go-no go gauges exist for a very specific reason, and that's to rapidly check quickly reproduced parts in the order of tens to thousands, where measurement by tool becomes a waste of time, but these are typically specific to certain parts, not a general purpose pegboard of seeing what fits nicely. Michael also demonstrates how engineers are entirely white collar, because anyone who spends time in a machine shop will quickly learn what proper fits feel like, literally something an apprentice would learn before starting their blue collar career. This is why 3D printers are commonly a white collar toy, because the people using them clearly do not understand their nuances, or why industrially they're only used for rapid prototyping before actual tooling, with better tolerances, are used, and this rapid prototyping is done within the drafting phases so that there is margin for error that feeds into tweaking the design. This is also why machinists will use calipers and measurements to determine tolerance, two parts and feeler gauges to determine fit, and why they'll whip up a custom go-no go gauge if they need to do this process multiple times within the same project or lineage of product. Picking up a tool and doing it properly really isn't that hard, yet inexperienced white collars seem to either be too lazy to do so and/or have a phobia of touching blue collar tools; it's insane how people look for an 'easier' way when the easiest way is the correct way. A lot of people here clearly have a lot of learning to do, considering the lack of common sense and lack of basic logical thought.

@@TabletopMachineShop That's weird, what degree is that? I'm a machine shop and CAD teacher in highschool (students age 15-18) and both the general tolerance system (IT tolerances) and the ISO fits and limit system are taught first during mechanics class, and later used in my classes. When I was doing my mechanical engineering studies this system was also thought very early on, since it's so crucial when designing (and drafting) anything that will be send to someone else for manufacturing. One of the major mistakes that both my students and many less practical inclined engineers make in making every tolerance to small. Always use the largest tolerance that will work for a given application. When I was still a machinist, I once worked a week on some parts with tiny tolerances, because the drawing said so (all dimensions to IT2 or something insane like that). When the engineer came to get his parts I asked what they were, and they were door handles. I didn't have to pay for the man hours, but I was still pissed, since it was such a pain to make.

This was so helpful, Thanks! For example when pressing a double sealed bearing on an arbor I usually put the arbor in the freezer (making it say minus 17 C or zero F); then I put the bearing in the sun (making it say 65 C or 150 F); now I can run my coefficient of expansion figures with the charts you provided my measurements should be much more controllable or predictable and less risk of stressing a new bearing. Comment below was helpful too as was your answer: Mesuri 3 months ago Great video. Learnt something new today. What about temperature though? Tabletop Machine Shop 3 months ago Good question! The ASME standards (and no doubt their ISO counterparts) indicate that parts should always be measured at 20C.

Thanks! I used to kind of ballpark "ohhhhhh... 0.002" of interference", but it's great having a standard that produces similar fits consistently

Nice explanation of the tolerance system for holes. The main problem with tolerances is measuring them. But this problem is solved by ISO8015. This standard removes all the variables and ensures the same quality mo matter where the parts are produced. Unfortunately there are not many manufacturers who dare to tackel a part which is according to this standard, because it limits their capabilities.

Can you share links or names of the books you have mentioned in this video ? It would be of great help.

hats off to you, I used to think I understood fits. My company doesn't adhere to it as accurately as they should. Mainly cost, lack of time and required tools. We tend to use a lot of emery paper. personally I do the best I can with what I have and make very accurate parts I have also in my 6 years there used the cylindrical more than any time before. Company is 21 years old.. shameful. i have made the link between surface finish and tolerance as you can hit size but the pin still wont assemble right. turning vs grinding shafts for bearing fits. 0.003mm turning is hard to achieve but still fits like crap, but hitting 0.001 grinding parts fit very well. To anyone else reading this, no matter what cutter, or tool you use in an assembly flatness, squareness and parallel play as big of a factor as size

@TabletopMachineShop

4 жыл бұрын

Well, hand finishing can be exceptionally accurate, i guess it's just nice when the parts are interchangeable! Yeah I guess if you're aiming for a 3 micron tolerance and your surface finish is in the 0.8 micron range you're looking at 25% of your tolerance zone being the surface finish. Knowing ISO, there's some way of factoring that in, I just havent read that far yet :P. I'd love to do a video on GD&T with respect to flatness, squareness and parallelism (form and orientation controls) but that is one deep subject and I doubt I could do it justice :P. You make a very good point though; if your parts aren't flat, square, parallel, etc, they can match the print but still won't fit!

In the US we call out an outside diameter as plus nothing minus a value, and inside as plus a valley minus nothing. This allows a size for size fit which is actually a light press. In Europe they control with plus, plus and minus minus values making sure that there is some clearance.

Hi, thanks for this video. Very helpful, but there is one thing i'm still confused on. I have a pin which is ground to h6 tolerance. We need it to run smoothly in a hole. This is a shaft basis fit, as the shaft is already made and out of our control. I look in the book for 'close running fit'. Under the shaft basis column it says F8/h7 - well the shaft isnt h7 - its h6! so now what?! How do I translate the F8/h7 fit to work with an s7 shaft? We also have lots of pins that are m6 tolerance, which does not appear anywhere in the ISO 286 table so I am not sure how to handle this either. Any help would be great. Thanks.

So? H11 is a lot of allowed tolerance around the hole. Achieving a certain letter is absolutely no problem. The problem is the tolerance (the 11 in your case is way relaxed.. you can carve that with hand tools). Generally 9 is easy, 8 is standard lathe work, drill work, 7 is the same but need more careful touches to creep on dimension, 6 is for the properly tuned lathes/mills/cnc and probably best you can get consistently. 5 is into surface grinding and other fancy process.

I found that sometimes a nut and a bolt doest fit because the nut is its lower value of dimension and the bolt in its higher, the solution it is just changing one of them for other and the tolerances will be in an acceptable range.

cant you also vary precisely control the size of the hole by heating or cooling the part x number of degrees for smaller parts, drilling the hole and then viola, perfect hole when the part warms up
