Metric Conversion Help

Sup guys,

I am going to be purchasing some Titanium stock for an upcoming project that I have well am thinking of doing and if it works out there just might be something in it for me. Anyways I need to make a conversion. I am seeing measurements in thickness of .080 and the like. Well I need to acheive about 1/8 MM to about 1/4 of an inch. Can anyone hook me up with what something that might be close.

You need this:

It's a standalone freely distributed conversion app with tons of measurement conversions. Unzip and launch.

2.54mm = 1"

Hmm That's an awesome little utility bro. Thank you. Figured out that the stock I'ma need is .160 Can't seem to find anything thinner that equals to about 3mm. Thanks though.

just type in what you have and then what you are converting too.

like .080mm to inches

you can do it with almost anything, even just like 1+1

weight, distance, speed the list goes on

No problem! Glad ya like it. I've found it to come in handy a few times.

Now to just find some titanium stock cheep and I should be set. I just picked up a new drill press and a 1/4th horsepower bench grinder. I am thinking if building some parts for the savage and my Nitro Mt

could set up a little custom shop in the b/s/t forum

Don't know about that but we shall see how things turn out and what kind of time is involved in it. Probably more than it's worth. I dunno the titanium that I am looking at is aircraft grade titanium and for the price and what you get it's honestly not a bad deal. It will just take some work to polish up is all.

Sorry there buddy but 2.54mm does not equal an inch. Just using my semi calibrated brain it's about an eighth of an inch.

he probably meant 2.54 cm. just a guess, but it seems right w/o goin to get the ruler

to go from mm to inch for example 6mm (6mm / 25.4 = .2362)
just divide the mm by 25.4 and it gives you inch ...

if you want to go from inch to mm just multiply the inch by 25.4

for example 1/8" is .125 * 25.4 = 3.175mm

hope this helps

yeah, my bad.... 25.4mm = 1"
