In all honesty, Leo, In this game, to get consistent and the best results we can, no clearance is the answer. This almost always means a bolt, thread or secure dovetail interface. A nose piece fit usually has 0.1mm of clearance, then the thumbscrews don't hold it tight enough or push it off axis and cause tilt. In theory, 0.01mm would be enough to let a nose piece slide in, but I still wouldn't rely on it for consistent results.
