I have worked in metric a lot but still don't know what a meter looks like except that it close to a yard. To me a MM is .039 approx and a little bigger than 1/32 of an inch. Centimeters? Forget about that! Machine shop work here in the states has all been in mm so what the heck is 764 mm, 1200 mm what the heck is the rime or reason to that. I guess that was intended to make it easy for us dumb machinist that aren't capable of using centimeters, so now we unwashed ones don't even know what a centimeter is :'( Doug
