Ok, here's a question ....

what would 1 1/16th be in millimeters?

Thanks
Richard

2.0 mm approximately.

wrong lol
25.4 is 1 "

1/16 is 1.587
total is 26.99 (rounded up)

[razer_irl]

Well Framey Id better email that Chandelier parts place and tell them that they`re chart is wrong.

I started using it a while back cos all the tuning Ive been reading about is in "16th" and " 32nd" and it was all I could find (for free) to convert :)

Suppose you get what you pay for is the lesson here :) :)

You lot over there really need to change to metric and make it easier for us "Europeans"

razer i think you missed the 1 infront of the 1/16.

[framey]

lol well spotted tadt


im in england razer lol

if you work on 1" is 25.4 then any part of is a fraction of that 25.4

eg
so if you want 3/32
divide the 25.4 by 32 (or whatever) then multiply by the 3 (or whatever)

heres a couple of good links for the info

Im confused now tadt--What does missing the "1" in front of the 1/16 have to do with it.

Surely the question was what is "one" 1/16 in milimetres???Which is the way I read it.Its not "eleven" /16 th????

Which if you use my link says its 2mm(obviously wrong if you use frameys formula)

maybe hell have to ask again to straighten all of us out but it looks like hes asking about 1 inch and 1/16? or maybe 1/16?

[framey]

its an old fractions thing
us oldies know about it

1 1/16 is 1" and 1/16 =17/16

1/16 is "1"/16
i think he meant 1/16 my self lol

hope that straightens it out

[razer_irl]

So if it is "one" 1/16 then the link I posted has incorrect info on it yep and I can blame them???

And if it "one" and 1/16 then Im totally wrong :)

Thought I was losing it there for a minute ;) ;)

[tadt]

LOL this is getting funny, were discussing fractions on a tattoo forum maybe by the end of this we'll all be better at math.

[framey]

hahah your correct i should have added mm after the 1.587

so 1/16 is 1.587mm

[framey]

when it starts getting to 32nds or 64ths i think i go back to mm

[richart]

was meant to read 1/16 thanks guys, but it did set the cat amongst the pigeons right!

here's what I have done. If you take a dime and a caliper you will see that the dime is about 1mm in turn if you look at the other side of the caliper the inches it will be about 1/16th where a nickel is 2mm you will see that in inches as 1/32nd. Try it. I like to use a small caliper to measure my gaps.

just my 10 cents lol, ok bad joke

[framey]

try a feeler gauge for the measuring

Ok been to sears and I found some that look like a swiss army knife but dont see one that has at least a 1mm on it. They all go to like .85mm

Been trying to find those round ones used for spark plugs. cant find them here. God! I hate this Island cant find shit!!!

hopefully a helpful tidbit fer ya tony,
just double up the "feelers" to get the size you need ie: .85 + .15 = 1.00
likely you would've figured that out yourself tho
