How Big 1

[AtomicSheep]

Hi Guys,

I'm designing some basic things but I need some clarification regarding the gap that I should leave. If I have a cutout and then into that cutout I insert another part of the same shape, how big a gap should I use? If you add paint, the part that I'll be inserting will become larger, also, CNC machines aren't exactly perfectly precise so this needs to be taken into consideration also, any helpful hints, ideas or links to sites that talk about this?

Thanks.

You only give enough to guess with.

You literally just defined every part in the world. They're all either "static or dynamic" so yea... your answers will usually only be as good as the question.

Fair comment, I guess I was asking for pointers on where to read up on tolerances in general. Got a couple of leads so got the answer I was looking for.

Now there is a question folks can seriously respond to.
