The centre-to-centre distance and the holes dimension: all the problems you have. You just blew a hole in the boat before receiving the batch of stainless steel hinges. Is it possible that the centre-to-centre distance and hole dimensions are different from those that appear on the catalogue? For some marine hardware the answer you can give to your costumers is “yes”.
Sometimes, half a millimeter can also be the difference.
Not recommended
We really don’t recommend hole-drilling before receiving the batch of stainless steel hinges.
The dimensions in our catalogue and on our website are just an indication.
Thus, such dimensions may vary from batch to batch. In particular, the centre-to-centre distance and the holes distance.
Indeed, our stainless steel hinges are not subject to any legislation. Minimal differences as regards the holes tolerances, without changing the quality of the product and its use functionality.
A few simple adjustments
This advice is essential also for the work processes planning for the deep-hole-drilling machines.
So, we have to be careful about the centre-to-centre distance and the holes dimension of all the marine hardware (for example: toggle, eye strap etc…)
So remember: no holes before receiving the marine hardware batch.
