Default Visual ruler - Imperial (64ths) to Metric (0.5 mm)

I created this visual aid because it's helpful to me in the workshop when I need to match a tool to a fastener. For example, if 7/64" is a bit too small and 1/8" is a bit too big, I can see that 3.0 mm is in between.

Feel free to copy and use it.

It worked for me also.

I cheat a bit on this....I have a digital calipers that with the push of a button will flip from metric to SAE. Works like a charm

I do it the hard way... try every tool in the box that "looks about right"
