dang metric!

[Coen]

Coen, the mm measurements I stated (which I actually use for my work) are accurate. The other numbers have the tilde in front to note they are approximate. I switched to metric two years ago for all projects that would allow it. Some work I do for other makers I have to use their preferred system, however.

That's some crude approximation being 47.5" off  8)

Or more likely you meant 2451 and not 1245

You might want to check that again......a little more carefully.

yea, I see what I did... I work in half sheets on my CNC and forgot to multiply the long dimension by two. It should be about 2450mm. My bad. I'll slap myself up-side my head. Geepers that's embarrassing...

Happens to us all! Me more than most actually!

Me too, I was laying some laminate flooring the other day, and up in the attic I measure 98,7 cm, I walk down to the saw outside and I cut 95,7. Wasted 4 boards. Dang metric! [big grin]

well, there are always the parallel guides with their marker arrows you miss and instead use the end of the stop as the marker, and then everything ends up 10mm short.  Good thing current project is very rough construction. 

I'm sure the guides are fine, it's just a metric thing.  [wink]

That would be either; dang vision, or dang top command center!  [big grin]
