Hi,
I'm in the process of setting our shop up with a few go no-go gages.
I did a bit of research and learnt a few things and I have a few questions which someone here could certanly help with.
So, I learnt that....
A GO age should have a + tolerance while a NO-GO should have a - tolerance.
If I need te measure a 1.000 + 0.001/-0 hole, the GO member should be 1.0002 and the NO-GO should be at 1.0998, right ?
I trying to figure out why it would not be the reverse ?
If my hole is at the minimum of 1.000, then my GO gage would not work right ? Same with the opposite, if my hole is at the max, then the NO-GO might still fit.
If it would be the opposite, the GO being at 0.9998 and the NO-GO at 1.1002, wouldn't it, in theory, work better ?
If my hole is at the min of 1.000, then my GO would pass. Never tried but I would assume that passing a 0.9998 gage in a 1.000 hole would not be an easy thing to do which is why I say in thery..
Can someone help me out with this and explain ?
Thanks !
