3.1.1.2. Application Guidelines

Using a dowel between two details of soft steel, both dowel holes are to utilize a press-fit tolerance. If the machine builder needs to loosen
3.1.1.2.1.up one of the holes to achieve a slip-fit, he will do so with a hand reamer at assembly.

Using a dowel in a detail that has been hardened, and cannot be left soft the hole must utilize a slip-fit tolerance. It is not possible for the
3.1.1.2.2.machine builder to hand ream a hole in a hardened detail.

Using a dowel to locate a detail that is regularly replaced (clamp blocks, locator pins, Rest pads, etc...), the hole in the replaceable detail
3.1.1.2.3.must utilize a slip-fit tolerance. The hole in the fixed detail is to utilize a press-fit tolerance.

3.1.1.2.4. Preference is for both mating parts to utilize a thru hole. Drill (c'bore) to remove material on deep holes.

3.1.1.2.5. See 5.3.9. & 5.3.10. for stocked dowel sizes.
