Check Holder - absolute minimum stickout

Recommended Posts

I try to get the absolute minimum stickout where the holder nut will touch the upper surface, which is 87 millimeters in the picture below. However using Check Holder I keep getting 88.27231. Resolution is 0.01, tolerance 0.025, holder and shank clearance are zero. Operation is Drill/Counterbore without tip comp

Where does the 88.27231 come from?

It is the Tolerance!   Your Resolution is ignored if it is less than your Tolerance.   (I didn't know this until I looked with the debugger...)   The processing code reverts back to 1.25mm resolution.    I have submitted this as D-45483.  As a work-around, set your Tolerance to just less than your 0.01 Resolution (I used 0.009).  You will notice that the processing takes longer.  The answer I got was 87.01775.     Thank you for reporting this.
