Frequently Asked Questions<br>What is the exact conversion factor?<br>The exact conversion factor used by our inches to mm converter is 1 inch = 25.4 millimeters. This was standardized internationally in 1959. For engineering applications, always use exactly 25.4 (not rounded values).
How many decimal places should I use?<br>For general work: 2-3 decimals (63.50mm). For precision work: 4 decimals (63.5000mm). For ultra-precision: 5-6 decimals. Our converter defaults to 4 decimals for engineering precision.
Can I use inches on a metric CNC machine?<br>Most modern CNC controllers support both G20 (inch) and G21 (mm) modes. However, converting to metric is recommended for consistency with machine DRO and metric tooling.
What's the difference from other converters?<br>Unlike generic converters, we provide manufacturing-specific tools: machining allowance calculation, tolerance conversion (ANSI to ISO), BOM batch processing, and fastener matching.
