Greetings Kees!

 KvE>>>  I remember one from my own past. Engeneering drawings were to be
 KvE>>> in metrics. A hole of 6mm was needed. The designer checked the
 KvE>>> conversion table and put 6.0452 mm  as the size of the hole. In
 KvE>>> the workshop the conversion table was used again and it was found
 KvE>>> that the hole had to drilled with a size B drill.

 RW>> I don't suppose that you or anyone else in Europe has ever seen a B
 RW>> drill, let alone know what size it is.

 RW>> I have several in my drill indexes. They all measure 6.04mm...

 KvE>  You could read before you answer.

What? You mean spoil the fun! You see, there is no such thing as a
6.0452mm drill.

 KvE> And your assumptions are wrong.

I didn't make any assumptions.

 KvE>  Your drills are worn, they should measure 6.0452mm

That's not it at all. My drills are not worn, but virgin drills out of the
box. My B-drill measures .2382", which would make your 6.0452mm hole
bigger than required, or 6.05mm.


    Have a day!

    Democrats (liberals) who voted for the O'bama, not once, but twice.
