91.  More on GD&T - this video describes an assembly showing parts with mating
surfaces with interferences and clearances and the concepts behind Least Material 
Conditions and Most Material Conditions. 
Back to the top



92.  Even more on GD&T - this video describes more on an assembly showing 
parts that meet 2 dimensional tolerances but still have mating surfaces with 
interferences showing the need for 3 dimensional tolerancing.

93.  Yet even more on GD&T - this video describes the concepts and use of 
datums and Feature Control Frames.
