Purpose

What this calculator does

The calculator supports hole selection for general-purpose bolted assemblies. Medium is often a useful starting point; fine reduces assembly play while coarse gives more positional allowance.

Boundary

What still needs checking

Special applications require a design-specific hole selection. Also check bearing area, edge distance, assembly clearance, coatings, and possible interference with the under-head fillet.
