Re: how many 1/8s can there be in 3/8
Are you trying to set both sets of points on a crab dist?
If so you only "time" the one set. Here is some info from VanPelts http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/f...str-timing.htm Last edited by 38bill; 11-16-2020 at 06:07 PM. |

Re: how many 1/8s can there be in 3/8
Nope, you're wrong. Not even close to a million. In fact, there are exactly one thousand -no more / no less

Re: how many 1/8s can there be in 3/8
I was a tool and die maker so yep, I did - numerous times.
Even counted million's when it was necessary.

Re: how many 1/8s can there be in 3/8
I worked in tooling as well, but guess I was too lazy to do the counting! A lot of our stuff was fine work, but a lot was large scale as well. We did a lot of work with optical devices, somewhat like using a transit.

Re: how many 1/8s can there be in 3/8

Yeah, "good enough" was simply not a thing. I truly enjoyed my career. I was able to use my mind and my hands and get paid for it!

On a serious note, I did (often) have to measure to the millionth's. I suppose the guy flying the jet may not know that but I'm willing to bet he appreciates the fact I helped keep him airborne.

Re: how many 1/8s can there be in 3/8
My son is a tool and die maker at the local shipyard in Kittery, ME., working on stuff for nuclear subs. He’s told me just holding a part in his hand will warm it enough to take it out of tolerance. Crazy!.....Mark

Re: how many 1/8s can there be in 3/8
Mac what’s linear. Cubic or Square are way too many numbers for me. I struggle counting my fingers. So I count my left hand first. 10-9-8-7-Six plus five on my right equals Eleven. Perfect math correct. I have Eleven fingers including my thumbs. 🙃

Re: how many 1/8s can there be in 3/8
