Default How to measure really small hole diameter

The problem with pins is you need to allow for clearance. A .1250 pin will
not fit into a .1250 hole. It will fit into a .1255/.126 hole but not a
.1250 hole. Last place I worked had a hard time understanding this concept.
Air gauges are the most accurate and fastest way to check small holes.


What about a .1251 hole? Would it fit into that or not fit until you have .1255
or .1260?
