Default Clearance on shear blades?

Kennedy fired this volley in

Huh? Works for me.


0.040 x 25.4 = 1.016mm


You didn't read his formula.

He said, "To convert THOUSANDTHS of an inch to millimeters, multiply by
25.4".

Nosir! To convert INCHES to millimeters, multiply by 25.4. To convert
thousandths of an inch to thousandths of millimeters, multiply by 25.4.

To convert thousandths of an inch to millimeters, multiply by 0.0254.

0.040" is not thousanths, it's inches. "40" would be 'thousandths'.

It matters.
