Re: Metric vs SAE hardware

The older Power Distribution Board for the cRIO used metric M6 bolts for the battery input.

Not to be confused with 10-28 fine thread SAE which is very close.

Personally robots should be like so many American cars:
Totally unable to decide what should be SAE and what should be metric


Gotta keep those tool and die makers in business somehow.

Seriously: rivets just get the hole close.

I once pulled down a pan on an Oldsmobile transmission and inside it was stamped Ford.
At some point I guess you use what you got.
