Many users may infact find that their needs are met by a further selection within this selected range. It should be noted. however, that this table is offered only as an example of how a restricted selection of fits ‘ean be made. It is clearly impossible to recommend selections of fits which are appropriate to all sections of in- dustry, but it must be emphasized that a user who decides upon a selected range will always enjoy the economic advantages this conveys. Once he has installed the necessary tooling and gauging facilities, he can combine his selected hole and shaft tolerances in different ways without any additional investment in tools and equipment. For example, ifit is assumed that the range of fits shown in the table has been adopted but that, for a particular application the fit H8-£7 is appropriate but provides rather too much variation, the hole tolerance H7 could equally well be associated with the shaft {7 and may provide exactly what is required without necessitating any additional tooling. For most general appucations itis usual to recommend hole basis fits as. except in the realm of very large Joshere the effects of temperature play a large part, it is usually considered easicr to manufacture and measure “We male member of a fit and it is thus desirable to be able to allocate the larger part of the tolerance available to the hole and adjust the shaft to suit. a In some circumstances, however. it may in fact be proferable to employ a shaft-basis. For example, in the case of driving shafts where a single shaft may gave to accommodate a variety of accessories such as couplings, bearings, collars, cc. itis preferable to mawutain a constant diameter for the permanent member. which i the shaft. and vary the bore of the accessories.
