HOLE DIAMETER TOLERANCE-STANDARD
DRILLED HOLE TOLERANCES
These size and
tolerance are for holes drilled with a drilling machine using suitable
jigs and fixtures. The hole tolerances depend upon the diameter of the
hole and increase as the hole size increases. The following are standard
tolerances for general machine work and apply in all cases except where
greater or lesser accuracy is required by the design.
