if there are other sizes that do double duty?


I told you in my post, one of the first responses, that some
sizes are close enough and cited 1 1/4" being almost identical to 32mm.
How close they have to be depends on what you're doing, how desperate
you are and how lucky you feel today. I believe someone else posted
a link to a chart, no?


Yes, the chart looks totally useful.

Now, wonder if a metric set will serve
as both, or are there some inch sizes
that are needed in addition?
