Re: Retainer Ring Shaft Tolerance

I've never had trouble with the tolerances being off. I've certainly cut the rings too deep, and had rattley snap rings, but I've never had any trouble assembling them because I was under the correct dimension in terms of width. On the other hand, we don't cut many snap ring groves.

We've just got a cutoff tool that was specially ground down to be the exact dimension of a snap ring grove. It's saved us a ton of work.
