Dimensioning Hole depth on tubing 1

[vonsteimel]

Greetings,
I was wonder how others dimension this.

Say you have 1.00 X 1.00 X 1/8 Square tubing, with a 1/4" hole in one side (but not through the opposite side).

When dimension the depth for the 1/4" hole, do you put the depth equal to the material thickness (i.e. 1/8 DP)? Or the depth to the centerline of the tube (i.e. 1/2 DP)? or some random interval that will produce the result your looking for (i.e. 1/4 DP)?

In all cases, I think the result is the same. I was just wonder what the norm was in situations like these.
Thanks,

VS

CH, I think you're over complicating the situation beyond necessity.

This is why the section view is the right way.

If it is "Thru both walls/sides", would this not simply become just "thru"?

After 2 college degrees, a drafting certification and 10 years in the business, I have never seen or heard the use of "thru one wall" or the like..... guess thats why I like this forum so much.

In the instance that prompted this question, it is actually a small hole on one side and a large hole on the other, both concentric with each other. So for production simplicity, I want our shop to locate & drill the small hole thru first, then just come back and drill out a larger hole "thru one wall" Otherwise they may end up locating and drilling both holes "thru one wall" which will take more time than needed.

The drawings for our in-house shop/factory are a quasi-drawing/work instruction all rolled into one..... fun, right?

Thanks,

There is a call-out for your situation in the standard: "TWO COAXIAL HOLES"
