      <p class="para_topic">Allow Oversize Tool enables you to use a tool with a larger diameter than the hole to be drilled. This is useful when tapping. Allow Oversize Tool is only available if the DEPTH cycle parameter is set to MODEL DEPTH and will only work if the holes are solid modeled.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">When toggled On, the Percent Dia. Tolerance becomes available, allowing you to specify an oversize tool tolerance in terms of percentage of the hole diameter. The system allows any tool to be used that is less than the hole diameter plus the specified tolerance:</p>
      <ol type="1" start="1">
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">tool diameter&lt;hole diameter * ( 1+Percent Dia. Tolerance/100 ) </p>
         </li>
      </ol>
      <p class="para_topic">In the following figure, the system allows the operation to use a .281 diameter tool on .250 diameter holes because the tool diameter is less than the calculated value of .2875.</p>
