Frank Dillinger posted:The Russian 7.62x25 caliber pistols can fire German 7.63x25 Mauser ammo, but not the other way around (ww2 era) I’ve never heard of interchangeability between 7.62 nato and any other Russian calibers. That's mainly because the caliber reflects only the diameter of the slug itself, and not the length or the sizing/chambering of the actual shell. More or less. Because naming standards on ammunition are far from standardized. It's still stupid that you can fire .38 Special in a .357 Magnum (because they are both 0.357" in diameter)

My wood worker parents used to refer to "five quarter" wood slabs. I guess that's fewer syllables than saying one-and-a-quarter inch?

Dirt Road Junglist posted:My wood worker parents used to refer to "five quarter" wood slabs. I guess that's fewer syllables than saying one-and-a-quarter inch? I think that refers to wood that is still rough-cut. Apparently it comes from the sawmill blades being incremented in 1/4 inch stops, so 5/4 is five clicks on the saw's width setting between boards. Milled to a constant dimension and smooth finish, it would be an even 1 inch. People used a lot of rough-cut boards for siding at one point, so it was commonly understood.

Menards sells 5/4 boards in their fully-sanded “select” tier, so it’s not just a matter of unfinished. They’re handy for fancying-up door casings if you want more depth at the top.

Colostomy Bag posted:Yes precision and efficiency. The crap that is thrown out, one would be nuts to use it to make a tree house out of the crap. If you take off less material you can get more out of a tree, but the boards are more warped (imprecise). If you take off more material the boards are more square, but they need to start out bigger (inefficient).

The case was lengthened, but the rim and every other dimension stayed the same.

Well, yes, but a .38 is 0.357". I understand that the .38 comes from the diameter of the casing, and therefore the chamber, but it illustrates the remarkable inconsistency of ammunition nomenclature. I expect a ".38" round to have a slug that's 0.38" or close to it, especially when a ".357" is 0.357", and a ".223" is 0.223", etc. I know it's a product of changing methods of identification and marketing, but it's just goofy.

Zopotantor posted:I was told in the army (Germany, 30+ years ago) that the Russians used 7.62 so that they could use NATO 7.62 rounds they picked up, but that their own rounds had some feature (changed grooves or similar) that made them unusable in our guns (G3, at the time). I have no idea if that was true, but I always thought it was stupid to let that happen. Russian 7.62, outside of the aforementioned old 7.62x25 TT rounds, are either 7.62x39mm or x54mm (cartridge length), neither of which can chamber and use NATO 7.62x51. It's just another dumbass boot story like .50BMG exploding heads by flying nearby, aiming for the canteens, etc etc etc.

Yeah, I guess it's because marketing departments of different companies named the things instead of some sort of standards and licensing board. It's not a standard, it's a brand. I guess we could go full NATO and call it a 9.1x33.

UCS Hellmaker posted:That looks like wire cut right? I wish it was. I finally talked the owner into sending it out to an EDM shop. Even then, it's still a 4 axis job. The way I used to make it took 1 cnc mill op, and then two separate manual mills to do the under cut angle and the final parting off. I used a woodruff keycutter to undercut the part off of it's base. That also establishes it's final thickness. As best as I can tell, it's some kind of probe rest for an atomic force microscope. I'm just glad I don't have to make the drat things anymore.

Jesus, yeah this is a simple 4 axis program you could do with a 1 cut to make the whole piece, it probably would be cheaper and less scrap hassle to do in a wire. At most I could do this in two ops in a wire with a half rear end setup, Likely you could make a whole run from one piece of material if you program and setup the job right in one of my machines. I'm happy you donlt make them on a mill anymore that sounds horrid

In marketing and advertising, M means thousand, too. Example, YouTube ad clicks. 100M equals 100,000. Now that I think about it, I only see K meaning thousand in straight dollars/money, but M everywhere else.

Darchangel posted:Pipes and tubing for air/liquid are usually measured on the inside diameter, so the OD is all over the place depending on material. Mostly. Pipe and hose are measured inside diameter, tubing is generally measured on the outside. Hose has the ID printed on the OD because of, well, obvious reasons. Pipe will typically state the ID on the pipe but also the SCH or Schedule, which will tell you the OD as many pipe fittings also attach via the OD. So you might see something like "1.5" DIA SCH40" or something like that. Tubing almost exclusively connect with fittings via the OD hence why OD is typically printed on the fittings themselves and on the tube if it can be (urethane/nylon/plastics in general) but metallic tubes can be a crapshoot and you generally need to measure them. Biggest confusion is generally between when is something considered tubing vs a hose?
