   "The 1600 series is the inch-size light-duty deep-groove ball bearing: 1601 is 3/16 in bore, 1602 and 1604 are 1/4 and 3/8 in bore, and the sizes run up to 1658 (1.3125 in bore). They are used in small pulleys, wheels and light machinery. Peer's table gives one width for open and ZZ (shielded) bearings and a wider 2RS (sealed) width for 1601 to 1604; for 1605 and up no 2RS width is stated.",

Where a part meets another part, the object lists its mating features (feature, exact size, what it mates with, fit class: press, slide, run, socket, clamp or designed). Apply your process's allowance to those features only; 'designed' gaps are part of the design and stay as drawn. Typical accuracy by process and ISO 286 fits: https://xemstudio.com/tolerances/",
