Ok, I
just have to respond 'cause I go through that all the time with my 30 year old dial caliper. Whatever you measure, multiple by 25.4. If you need mm to inches, divide by 25.4. Use your smartphone's calculator. heh. So 27mm / 25.4 is 1.063 +/- a lot for mfg tolerance. Just memorize 25.4. Easy peasy. And a great way to go sideways on these threads...
