SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the challenges of creating a mechanical drawing that incorporates both a grooved bearing and a linear bearing on the same rod without slop. The user seeks clarification on "press fit" tolerances, specifically asking for the appropriate rod size for a 0.5-inch hole to achieve a press fit and a locating fit. Resources such as Engineers Edge and the Machinery Handbook are recommended for understanding various types of fits and tolerances, including sliding, interference, and force fits.
