TP FCF on a Hole Note Applies to Which Feature? Thru Hole or C'Bore?
TP FCF on a Hole Note Applies to Which Feature? Thru Hole or C'Bore?
(OP)
So my supervisor tells me yesterday that in the attached example, the way it's written, the machinist will basically just be able to choose on his own which part of the hole to apply the positional tolerance to. Is that correct? I was under the impression that a thru hole with a c'bore shared a C-Line and therefore the positional tolerance would control the shared axis of both parts of the hole and therefore control both features simultaneously... Would I need a FCF for each aspect of the hole note??? Drill or tap thru/FCF/Cbore/FCF/ancillary info? That doesn't sound right to me...
Thanks for the feedback.

BTW, the position tol should have a diameter symbol in front of the .004.

Also, hole diameter tolerance is specified, but c-bore tolerance isn't (possibly relies on titleblock). If c-bore tolerance is different from hole tolerance, virtual conditions will be different as well.

Thanks guys - forgot to mention -
1) Add dia. symbol, check.
2) .xxx = ±.005 in title block for the c'bore tol.
3) What do you mean, the c'bore and thru hole do not share the same axis?

In ASME Y14.5M-1994 the section is 5.7

Two tolerance zones will be constructed around theoretical axis. Bonus tolerances (different for hole and counterbore) will be added.
Then axis of hole will be free to shift/tilt within its own tolerance zone, and axis of c-bore will be free to shift and tilt within its own tolerance zone. That's what I meant saying "don't share axis" - there will be no common axis shifting and tilting within common tolerance zone.

Two separate FCFs will mean your QC will set two procedures to check holes and counterbores separately. Is that any better?
And also, if the most important to you is to relate every c-bore to its own hole, there is the THIRD way to tolerance: you make your hole a datum and control c-bore wrt that datum. Just don't forget to call "(number of holes)X INDIVIDUALLY" (see Fig. 7-26)
Good luck!
