For most things, mm is used instead of ". 32nds and 64ths are carpenters #s. 1000s like .020, .825, 1.250, etc is better.

Try talking in OUR language and you will get some answers.. What was the question?




But I notice you're nearly always talking in fractions now. Why the language change?
Well Matt, first off without seeing the rest of the Thread it would be hard for most to understand the topic and my meaning. I almost am sure it wasn't just about string lengths.

In this country, the common person uses inches and fractions of inches as I have listed above.

Now, answer the 'size question' already and make your contribution. Do you know the inch/mm conversion method?

In case you weren't sure, Arnold was partially or rather mostly joking on his sizes listed.
