Hi Forum,
Perhaps in all of you infinite wisdom, you all could help settle a minor disagreement in our QA department. Here it is:
I have been machining since 1987(thats not an indicator of my skill, I know, so dont bust my chops please), and the whole time, I mean the WHOLE TIME, whenever I have tapped a hole and then gauged it using a Plug style GO/NO gauge I have been using 1 1/2 turns on the NOGO to determine if the thread is good. My QA guy says that 3 turns is allowable on NOGO. Who is right???
any help, as always is much appreciated.
Thank in advance.
