    Aluminium Extrusion - Tapered Section

    I called a leading UK extruder and was informed this process is not one they are aware of, so my guess is this isn't possible.

    Aluminium Extrusion - Tapered Section

    I have seen progressive forming of masts then welded, but never seen a tapered extrusion. I have noticed reference to variable geometry dies so was curious if this is actually possible.

    Aluminium Extrusion - Tapered Section

    Tried searching google but struggled to find any information. I am familiar with the standard aluminium extrusion process for constant section. I am wondering if there is a possibility to extrude a section lets say circular starting at 100mm diameter reducing to 75mm over an 8m length...

    Single Hole Pattern from sketch

    Hello All, Relatively new to Creo so could be a basic question for some. I would like to construct a sketch driven point pattern to achieve the following in the drawing: I can achieve the above with two separate pattern features but not with the desired sketch driven point pattern. With a...

    20.0mm H7 Tolerance with GD&T Circularity

    Thank you for the information 3DDave, that is actually very helpful, as this gives some standard reference to the issue I have encountered.

    20.0mm H7 Tolerance with GD&T Circularity

    The question was really trying to establish whether a circularity tolerance is required in conjunction with a +0.021 fit. Personally I do not believe it is. I was interested in others opinions that all.

    20.0mm H7 Tolerance with GD&T Circularity

    The manufacturer specifies the tolerance for the bearing, its not something I've made up. Shaft and hole fits are specified under ISO 286.

    20.0mm H7 Tolerance with GD&T Circularity

    Sorry Guys, My question really is that surely the 0.021 tolerance constrains the boundary conditions of circularity, as worse case scenario would be a circularity of 0.02 to maintain this diameter size. This was my point why would you need to specify both. I am sceptical any tighter tolerance...

    20.0mm H7 Tolerance with GD&T Circularity

    My understanding that on a hole basis if a 0.021 tolerance is stated this is the maximum value of the runout.....so the GD&T circularity would theoretically apply to a dimension of 20.01 with a +/-0.01 circularity tolerance to meet the ISO 286 fit diameter specified of 20 -0 +0.021.

    20.0mm H7 Tolerance with GD&T Circularity

    Thank you for the reply, this was also my understanding and the reason I dimensioned this way and didn't add the circularity tolerance, I was just trying to get some other opinions. Although I was keen to know how others deal with a 'press fit' situation under ISO 286 values. As these values...

    20.0mm H7 Tolerance with GD&T Circularity

    Yes this is correct so unless otherwise specified the general tolerance applies....in this case mK My real main point was.....unless I specify a very tight 0.01 or less circularity tolerance it would have no effect on the 0.021 margin on diameter.

    20.0mm H7 Tolerance with GD&T Circularity

    Hello All, New to the forum and would just like some other opinion on this subject. I have specified a hole tolerance to accept a bearing, which is a 20.0 H7 +0 / +0.021 the centre position is defined by GD&T position and datum references, the hole depth is around 20mm. The selected...
