CIRCULAR DATUMS

If position of small hole is established from the axis of large hole, not necessary to specify one of the holes as datum.
14

CIRCULAR DATUMS

It is essential to specify the datum in order to be more clear as two cylindrical surfaces are involved i.e, OD & ID . It is also essential to determine whether the true position to be established perpendicular to the face or parallel to the datum axis. If it is parallel to the datum axis datum A would not be specified.

Axes of two holes is not advisable to specify as datum MMC.

without

Difficult to arrive at a setup for measuring purpose due to variation in hole sizes, centre distance between holes, parallelism of the hole axes and perpendicularity with the part surface. On MMC basis all holes may be specified as a single datum. Then the gauge pin size of all four holes shall be 6.18mm.
