It's easy, but I don't know...........

[Lstar]

we call it one micron = 0.001 mm

 

 

How to call them in inch???

??? = 0.0100 inch

??? = 0.0010 inch

??? = 0.0001 inch

 

[Quickmike]

40 millionths= 1 micron

.00004 in inches

[Travis_Buchanan]

0.1000" = one tenth or 100 thousandths

0.0100" = one hundreth or 10 thousandths

0.0010" = one thousandths

0.0001" = one ten-thousandths

 

Is this what you are looking for?

How to call them in inch???

??? = 0.0100 inch

??? = 0.0010 inch

??? = 0.0001 inch

 

ten thousandths

one thousandth

one tenth of a thousandths

1 inch = 25.4 mm

[Brent Wilkerson]

0.100" = A hundred thou'

0.010" = 10 thou'

0.001" = A thou'

0.0001" = A tenth

 

Example

 

0.250" = 1/4 of inch or 250 thou'

0.025" = 25 thou's

0.0025" = 2 thou' and 5 tenths

 

0.100mm = 100µm

0.010mm = 10µm

0.001mm = 1µm

 

Example:

0.150mm = 150µm

Mostly in America we use slang terms.

 

.01" ten thou

.001" one thou

.0001" one tenth

Anyway, after 20 yrs, I still get the slang mixed up. I feel that I still lean toward pronuncing the whole term instead of the slang version. Oh well, that's just me.

Man, you guys all need a course in conversions. QuickMike was the only one that got it right. 1 micron = 40 millionths eg. .00004

[Lstar]

thanks Jack.

 

[Dan_AKA_ROY]

1 inch = 3.9370079 x 10^-5 microns

 

In english or any language 1 micron refers to meters not inches. It can be converted from metric to standard weights and measurements.

 

The above formula is derived from 1 inch = 2.54cm. This is the base formula used for converting standard lengths to their metric equivalent.

[Jack Mitchell]

Hey Brent - I also noticed that you beat me by a couple thou

 

Actually America begins at its highest point which includes Canada. Or you could look upon it the other way and call Mexico the highest point and Canada its lowest.

 

Another slang term for a two flute center cutting end mill is "Slot Drill" you still draw a blank stare at some places though.

[Dan_AKA_ROY]

good point, Jack. I guess we are called Americans whereas you guys are called Canadians as is the norm. But technically yes your right...this is North America!

[Brent Wilkerson]

Jack .... I said a thou and a half.

 

How about we say North Americans?

Strange as it is I would call that one and a half thou. Good lord we must be confusing the heck out of the poor guy "Lstar" that started this thread.

 

At least I said Center Cutting incorrectly for the benefit of those in the south as opposed to the correct version of Centre Cutting as Andrew might refer to as the Queens English.

 

Come to think of it, we have many wierd terms and pronuciations such as Straight Edge, Whirly Jig, etc! - let's think about where these words come from and hijack away...

 

Regards, Jack

[Brent Wilkerson]

A thou and a half = 0.0015 BTW

[Jack Mitchell]

A thou and a half = 0.0015 BTW

OR

One and a half thou = 0.0015 BTW

 

Could it be, that once again, we have one of those irresistable forces meeting an immovable object?

 

Is that a poll I hear rumbling in the background Brent?

 

 

Regards, Jack

[Brent Wilkerson]

Is the glass half full or half empty?

 

Poll! Poll! Pole?

How about a Chicago bolt?????

[Jody]

Are screws, endmills, drills.... left handed south of the equator?

 

stop asking stupid question Jody.

[RickG]

Who's putting down left handed Poles?

[Jack Mitchell]

I know I probably sound ridiculous saying this, but somebody once told me that a toilet flushed below the equator actually does a reverse spiral.

Perhaps one of our friend’s way, way, down south or maybe somebody from Australia might be able to clarify.

And here I thought this meant one inch and and five tenths = 1.0005

 

PS, Jack is right, but does that mean that sh*t flows up instead of down?
