what is the difference between flats, plates, and sheets of steel????

[vidio1]

A mil is .03937 or .040 when guestimating. Just in case the need comes up again. So 40mm x .03937 = 1.5748 inches. Here's a link to a printable decimal to fraction chart:

The conversion is millimeters divided by 25.4 equals inches.

So 40mm / 25,4 = 1.575 inches.

The thickness. I don't know exactly what the limits of each are, but let's say Flats are usually thick, like 1/2" or more, plate is maybe 1/8" to 1/2" thick, and sheet is 0 - 1/8". It doesn't matter what it is called, as long as the size is what you need.

do you guys think a combination square would be able to mark out the angles ???

I'm fine playing w/mm and volume but WTF are Celsius and Pascal? Those make absolutely NO sense... Someone says it's 35 degrees and it's hot?
