minus-squarerutellthesinful@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agowell yeah, because 1/8" is 3.175mm 1/3 of a mm is a distance between 1/64" and 1/128" mechanical pencil lead is only about 0.4mm I still don’t see how a calculator helps though. don’t ask me ask the person who posed the “what’s a third of 9.5mm” question
