Tables for Determining Metric Tolerances
Table 1: Description of Preferred Fits Table 1 is pulled from the ANSI metric tolerances section of the machinists’ handbook, which conforms to the ISO and DIN tolerances for hole basis and shaft basis fits. Table 1 provides an overview of the hole basis and shaft basis fits that make up clearance fit, transition fit and interference fit combinations.

FOR WIDE COMMERCIAL TOLERANCES OR ALLOWANCES ON EXTERNAL MEMBERS. NOT FOR USE WHERE ACCURACY IS ESSENTIAL, BUT GOOD FOR LARGE TEMPERATURE VARIA- TIONS, HIGH RUNNING SPEEDS, OR HEAVY JOURNAL PRESSURES. FOR RUNNING ON ACCURATE MACHINES AND FOR ACCURATE LOCATION AT MODERATE SPEEDS AND JOURNAL PRESSURES. NOT INTENDED TO RUN FREELY, BUT TO MOVE AND TURN FREELY AND LOCATE ACCURATELY. PROVIDES SNUG FIT FOR LOCATING STATION- ARY PARTS; BUT CAN BE FREELY ASSEMBLED AND DISASSEMBLED. FOR ACCURATE LOCATION, A COMPROMISE BETWEEN CLEARANCE AND INTERFERENCE. FOR MORE ACCURATE LOCATION WHERE GREATER INTERFERENCE IS PERMISSIBLE. FOR PARTS REQUIRING RIGIDITY AND ALIGN- MENT WITH PRIME ACCURACY OF LOCATION BUT WITHOUT SPECIAL BORE PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS. FOR ORDINARY STEEL PARTS OR SHRINK FITS ON LIGHT SECTIONS, THE TIGHTEST FIT USABLE WITH CAST IRON. SUITABLE FOR PARTS WHICH CAN BE HIGHLY STRESSED OR FOR SHRINK FITS WHERE THE HEAVY PRESSING FORCES REQUIRED ARE IMPRACTICAL.
