Runout - vs Coaxiality (Concentricity)
   When in Doubt - Use Runout!

Avoid specifying concentricity. Concentricity requires deriving the median line of a feature. All of the features shown below are concentric. Usually, designs require that a feature be round as well as concentric like example A. A better geometric control is usually circular runout. Circular runout controls circularity (roundness) as well as concentricity.
