Hello experts,
I am designing some steel parts that tab together for layout purposes and then will be welded. I was thinking of about allowing 7 thoa on all sides of each tab. So .014 total clearance. I am thinking of using mild steel. I would like the tabs to fit together snug. What kind of clearance do you guys use.
Thank you

It's going to depend greatly on the equipment and speeds and feeds. Best suggestion will be to make a few small sample pieces to test out the fit
