I have a question relating to the allowable drift of a .065 hole approx 3 in deep in Cres. What is the expected or allowable drift for such a hole?

Stated differently: I have a drawing which specifies a .065 hole at a depth of approx 3 inches and imposed a positional tolerance of .005 dia RFS. Is this achievable or posssible?

And yes, the drawing is prepared in compliance with Y14.5.

 
It isn't easy, but it's achievable.

Read up on gundrills if you're interested.
