WHAT THIS SCREEN ANSWERS

A fit begins with limit relationships, not a shorthand class name. Clearance and interference intent must remain visible. The page compares entered hole and shaft limits to show the complete possible range. Read the output alongside the condition that produced it.

Temperature, surface finish, form, measurement, coatings, compliance, process capability, and assembly method can govern the real fit. Confirm drawing limits, inspection method, materials, thermal range, assembly approach, and applicable fit standard. That is the boundary of this preliminary screen.

A fit begins with limit relationships, not a shorthand class name. Clearance and interference intent must remain visible. Temperature, surface finish, form, measurement, coatings, compliance, process capability, and assembly method can govern the real fit. Change assumptions deliberately and observe which consequence moves first.

The page compares entered hole and shaft limits to show the complete possible range. Confirm drawing limits, inspection method, materials, thermal range, assembly approach, and applicable fit standard. The decision remains specific to this application because a fit begins with limit relationships, not a shorthand class name. clearance and interference intent must remain visible. Carry the stated assumptions into the next review.
