Hi,

I have heard that we get a Bonus tolerance for both MMC & LMC.

It is perfectly clear to me how a Bonus tolerance gets added to the position tolerance of a hole, while it starts to "get bigger" from MMC towards LMC.

But how is this possible with LMC of a hole (See the attached excerpt)?
Beats me...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks friends,
Finally the LMC condition makes sense to me on the thin wall scenario.
Correct me if I'm wrong:
If the locating is not important, and the hole and shaft merely need to fit together, I would go for mmc on hole.
If I'm concerned with a hole in a tube which shouldn't get big enough to "eat" the surrounding wall,I would put an LMC on the hole.This ensures a bigger hole "stays" in place while smaller hole can "move around" (like a planetary gear).
If locating is important for a hole and a shaft, then the "play" between them can be arrested by an Lmc modifier.

Any additional scenarios, which call for mmc & lmc?
What do you mean when you give zero tolerance at mmc?
Any examples for RFS condition?

Thanks in advance.
