I am working on a project that I want to press fit, an aluminum cylinder into a brass ring.
The hole in the ring is 0.5 inches in diameter how much larger do I need to make the aluminum for a tight permanent pressure fitting?
I have done a couple pieces and they worked out ok but I cant find any chart somewhere that says .001 larger for loose fit .003 larger for tight…something like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
