Spot Face dia, and depth.
Spot Face dia, and depth.
(OP)
Hey guys. I had a question about a spot-face that I need to put on a part in NX5.
The diameter of the hole is 5/16". Its on a flat surface. I can't find any mention of it in my drafting book and all I can find online is definitions what what a spot-face is and not how to determine the correct values. I read that as a rule of thumb you should have a depth of 1/16" for your spot-face. But it made no mention of any dia.
Is there a formula that would give this information? or is it just "what looks good"? Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
I read the thread: thread1103-152443: spotface It dealed with the GD&T call out of the spot-face but it also didn't describe what you might need for a dia. Thanks again guys.

There is no standard for spotface diameter for a hole size. It depends on the intent of what goes in the hole.

And there is everything in between.
