Quick question regarding machining tolerances...

I need to indicate dimensional tolerance on a drawing.
A fork with 1.130 inside dim.

the tolerance is -0, +(what)?

Non critical precision.

.005?
.010?


The larger the tolerance, the cheaper it would cost to make, but really
depends on the application & how much slop would cause problems.

Can you describe in more detail? .010 thou may not be enough if whatever
metal (?) it is made from has a high expansion rate, or may be too much
for some parts, noise, hammering effects, etc...
