Annoyingly, though, metric cutting speeds are quoted in m/min which introduces a pointless sexagesimal unit into all calculations. Though given that we quote spindle speeds in rpm rather than rad/sec perhaps this is allowable. My favourite wierd unit is the megaparsec.barn. It's a about a teaspoon, but very long and thin. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
