Re: 500 hundreds of a inch

500ths of an inch is much larger than you think, a millimeter is 1/254 (if i remember correctly, maybe 1/245). and 1 millimeter is visible to us, it can be a huge gap with machinery or instruments. a nut that is 1/500ths larger than its bolt wont fit if that gives a better sense...
