Grizzly's 8" Machinist's Super Precision Level is on sale!

[GreenGA]

I know that some FOG members bring a machinists' desire for accuracy to their woodworking activities and when this appeared in my inbox, I thought I would pass it along.

I am not certain where they get that .0005 is one half of one thousandth of an inch [huh], it's actually, one half of one ten-thousandth of an inch.  Regardless, I thought some may find a need for this level.

The usual disclaimers apply, yada, yada, yada...

Hmmm...  That looks suspiciously like 5 ten-thousandths of an inch to me...

Ahhh...  Oops. [doh]

I guess I was off by a mere, what...?, 95 one-hundred-thousandth's of an inch.

Their ad is correct, .0005" does equal one half of one thousandth of an inch.

Ron,

I believe you guys refer to that as "five tenths" in the machinists trade.  At least that's the way I learned it from my machine shop.

I totally agree, at least as far as fractions go, but how are thousandths of an " more confusing that tenths of a MM?  [huh]

Myself, I am more comfortable working in cubits, they were good enough for Noah.  [big grin] [big grin]
