Otherwise, the online version of the chart is listed below. You may have noticed that nearly all measurements and values listed in the Wood Database are in both imperial and metric format. This isn’t because I’m a huge fan of the metric system, but because I know how irritating it can be to look at something that should make sense to me, but I can’t fully understand what I’m looking at because the distances are listed in metric units. So, in the spirit of cooperation and understanding, I whipped up a quick little metric conversion chart to be used around the shop. It’s useful for drilling holes and other small measurements in millimeters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
