About this mm to inches chart

This comprehensive conversion chart provides instant reference values for transforming millimeters to inches across the range of 1mm to 100mm. All conversions utilize the precise international standard conversion factor: 1 inch = 25.4 millimeters exactly, established by international agreement and used worldwide for metric-imperial measurement translation.

Decimal inch values are calculated to 4 decimal places for engineering precision and quality control applications. Fractional inch approximations display the nearest 1/32" equivalent, the most common precision level for general mechanical work, carpentry, and metal fabrication. This dual-format presentation serves both precision machining (requiring decimal accuracy) and traditional crafts (using fractional rulers and tape measures).

Printing instructions: Click the "Print / Save as PDF" button above to generate a printer-optimized version of this conversion table. The print layout is formatted for standard letter-size (8.5" × 11") paper in portrait orientation, with unnecessary interface elements hidden for maximum chart legibility. Save the PDF to your device or print multiple copies for workshop distribution.

Common applications: This millimeter-inch chart proves invaluable when working with imported hardware (metric fasteners, bearings, tubing), reading international technical drawings, converting European product specifications, sizing drill bits between metric and fractional inch sets, or verifying CNC machining dimensions across measurement systems. Keep a printed copy at your workbench, machine shop, or construction site for instant reference without digital devices.
