Just stumbled across your channel , very nice - subscribed. Fred would be proud 😉 Hey I had a look through the comments there to check this wasn’t already covered , 15/16” is a little less than an inch It is 1/16 less than an inch ( no such sizes really but they may help the thought process …. ) 16/16 is exactly 1” 8/16 would be half an inch Hope this is of some help , also when micing up a part in tho ( .001” ) a lot of imperial mic’s have common fractions written on the frame of the micr to reference. Silly easy examples.500 = 1/2” , .750 = 3/4” these are obviously easily calculated in the head but for more obscure fractions 1 can read them right off the frame of the mic Iv only just found the channel and typing as I’m watching , I’m starting to think this comment is rather below your station please don’t be offended but iv spent time typing it now…
@@petermcneill80 Thanks 🙏 The mics and machines I use are a mix of metric and imperial so the measurements are usually made in what tool I have on hand. If the machine dials are in mm that usually what we work in. Can get a tad confusing at times to follow along. Thanks for watching

I got BSP pipe dies if your stuck and I don't reckon your a million miles away ;-)
@@julianhawker7672 Thanks appreciate it 👍. I did manage to single point thread it in the end.
The engine would have been built to Imperial measurements, why talk metric?
@@archmcdonald6170 because I’m not 100 years old and work in mm 👍
