The most common place to find .1" is on micrometers. And that's just fine until you need to switch it back to imperial or metric for the next processing...which the rest of your tooling is in.

.1" is roughly 2.54mm

.1", fractionally is ~7/64

7/64 is roughly 2.77mm

See how this is recipe for disaster?

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
