Message	as the best place to start. I guess I just didn't want to suggest that someone should shoot for... say 0.005" clearance just because their anticipated HP level and some formula told them too. When in doubt 0.001"/1" journal diameter works well. Pretty informantive graphs, I wish they'd put them into perspective of width and diameter as inputs, I can't help but think that figures into it :)
