I'm looking for any reputable argument for the accurate measurement for the proper method of inspection for tight tolerance bores.
Backstory; I'm working on a part that has two holes on one face. The tolerance of the holes are thus: .1251" to .1255". As any seasoned machinist or QC person would know, you can't fit a .1251" Deltronic gage pin into a .1251" hole. As such, I've been using a .12500" pin along with a Comtor Gage to verify hole size (hole is .250" +/-.005" deep). End customer says "uh-uh, needs to take a .1251 pin to be in tolerance".
Yeah yeah, customer is always right....right? But, I still feel like having this argument with them that they are incorrect. Losing battle?
