[QUOTE="OHJEEZE, post: 4159102, member: 47878"] Just a little tip. When making a sketch or print to have someone make some part for you. Do your dimensions in good old american inches. Chances are the majority of Tool & Die Makers and Machinist can make anything with either metric or english measurements. But most of us will convert to thousands of the inch, well because most if not all our of our measuring tools are for inch reading (thousands). And all this equipment we use with out a digital read out will be set in thousands of the inch too. This will save us a little time, and might save you some money if paying! Quick fact for those that do not know. 25.4 millimeters in a inch And Each millimeter is .03937 inch. [/QUOTE]
