Typo?

The 65 has to be a typo. Non-metric Allen wrenches (and fractional-sized drill bits) are always in 64th inch increments. 5 divided by 64 is .078, so that part is right.

It is.

I didn't fix it though, wondering how long it will be before anyone in the department notices it again. Big Grin

My guess it the .078 was there and someone tried to fractionalize it using some calculation and figured 5/65 is closer than 5/64. Or 5 is right next to the 4 on the keyboard so there is that.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Look for that 1/13" Allen wrench, you might have better luck.

Good plan. I think I'll send the newbie "down to the basement" today to look for that. Big Grin


(Yeah, we don't really have a basement. I'll send him to Maintenance to ask for a key to it, though.) Razz

In my drawer of allen wrenches I am certain there is slightly worn 5/64 that will work.


Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

5/64 inch, or a 2mm will do


Less is more.
