The purpose for interchangeable parts was so that if one piece on a machine or another contraption broke, it could easily be replaced with the exact same part. Interchangeable parts were made to have the same dimensions as every other part built for the same purpose. This saved money in that, if one thing went out on a piece of machinery, an interchangeable part could simply replace the broken piece instead of having to build an entire new machine. It also helped in creating large numbers of things instead of just a couple at a time.
