About this conversion
Millimeters and inches both appear in precision contexts, but they come from opposing measurement traditions. Millimeters are the default in engineering, manufacturing, and technical specifications worldwide — tolerances on machined parts, thread pitches, and bolt diameters are nearly always given in mm outside the US. Inches dominate American hardware: drill bits, pipe fittings, and lumber dimensions. 1 inch equals exactly 25.4 mm. This means a 1/4-inch bolt has a 6.35 mm diameter, and a standard 3/8-inch drill bit is 9.525 mm. For machinists and woodworkers collaborating across borders, this conversion is routine.
