Or you can do a division and that's it.

19mm / 3 = 6.3333mm. Come on over here and show me the six point three three three three millimeter line on my metric tape measure.

2" / 3 = 0.666666666 Show me that point in you tape measure 😜

And both cases can be fixed by just skewing a little the tape (19 mm -> 21 mm and 2" -> 2.1". Close to 20°)

2 inches isn't a common size for stock. 1.5 inches is though.

And you want to come show me 2.1" on my standard tape measure?

[-] bufalo1973@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Oh, right, inches are not divided by a sane number😉

TIL that is better having 2.0625" and 2.125" than having 2.1" 😜

Those numbers are inconvenient only if you insist on working in base 10.
