Clearance is how much space there is between two or more objects.

Tolerance is how much of something an object can withstand before something undesirable happens.

NOTE:

My examples use random numbers and may not reflect actual clearance/tolerance levels of their real life objects. Also, the undesirable effects may be a bit exaggerated

Example - Clearance:

The bridge has a clearance of 15 feet.

What ever is passing under the bridge will need to be less than 15 feet in order to not hit the bridge.

Example - Tolerance:

Your computer has a temperature tolerance of 100 degrees.

Your computer will need to stay under 100 degrees or damage may occur to the components.

The front door on your house is 1 foot by 2 foot and has a size tolerance of 1 micron. Anything larger and it won't close. Anything smaller and there will be a gap between the door and the frame. Either way the killer mosquitoes get in!!!

What is the tolerance for a 6.35 H7 hole?

The tolerance for a 6.35 H7 hole is defined by the H7 system, which specifies a certain range of limits for the hole's diameter. For a 6.35 mm nominal size, the H7 tolerance range typically allows for a hole diameter of 6.35 mm +0.025 mm to +0.000 mm, meaning the diameter can range from 6.35 mm to 6.375 mm. This tolerance ensures a precise fit, suitable for applications requiring a specific clearance or interference fit with corresponding shafts.
