Hi,
I am new to the forum.
I am trying to find informaiton on fit tolarances of hole and shafts and have read a couple on the net but they are difficult to undertand. Does anyone have a url for a web site that show this information in easy to understand form ?
My question for the moment is that I have a ring with a hole in it that is 12.03mm diameter. I want to make a shaft that is a press fit (i.e. will be difficult to remove (and will not move once pressed in),but can be press fitted in to the hole with an engineers vice, (if I am carefull !!)into this hole. The shaft and ring are both made of aluminium. Can anyone please tell me what size I should make the shaft and if they think this is possible only using a lathe for the finishing of this shaft, as I do not have a cylindtical grinder.
Thank you very much for reading this.
 
Have you considered cooling the shaft as mentioned above. A few hours in the freezer for the shaft combined with some heating of the female may help.

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
 
Thanks Kenat,
I'll give that try.

Sincerely,
Soundssupreme.
