If you had a 1/2-inch boring bar and a 12 mm boring head, would you
* Turn the bar down to 12 mm?
* Drill the head out to 1/2 inch?
* Be more careful next time you bought stuff?
I'm in USA but Hate Imperial. If I accidentally leave my caliper overnight in Imperial mode, next morning I apologise to it. That gives the poor iGaging nightmares.
I'm the guy who left the Acu-Rite on millimeters again. Whose EDM patterns come out 25.4 inches wide. Don't even own a tape or scale with inches on it
(nobody borrows my tape). Once I even purged my home shop of anything smelling of 1/4-20 and replaced it with M6x1. (That was as successful as President Carter switching to the metric system in 1977.) Let's hear it from across the pond & down under - am I being obstinate or just boneheaded?
