Calculate the diameter of a diamond pin placed at

400.25 distance from a plane surface if the locating

hole in the workpiece D is 55.25/55.555 and
engagement width W of the pin is 2.5.
Determine angular accuracy of location.

A hole is to be machined in a 100 mm diameter rod

which has a tolerance of 0.5 mm. V block fixture is

to be used. Determine the possible variations from
the centre line of the drill bushing when following Vblocks are used.
