The following are definitions for the elements:

Fastener (Shaft) Diameter - This is the maximum size (MMC) of the bolt, shaft or other feature of size.

Hole Diameter - This is the smallest hole (MMC) for the given feature of size.

TOL = Hole Tolerance, This is the hole positional tolerance applied to all related hole features.

Applies to both plates #1 and #2.
