Tom - possibly not 100% right. US buckets are .01 inch but EU and UK models have an adaptor to change the bucket tips to .02mm rather than what should have been .0254mm. Not sure what the 'adaptor' actually does though (even though I have one in my setup), and if adapter is used console needs to also be set to metric display units.
