In metric countries, metric drills are labelled just like in the US -
check out any industrial supply company catalog such as Grainger. <br>
Metric drills are labelled by their size, e.g.. 5 mm, 5.5 mm, etc.
That is what makes the system so easy to use!<br>
Same goes for screws.<br>
Same goes for center pins: 1.30 mm, 1.35 mm etc.<br>
Tuning pins are usually referred to by their size as well: 7.10 mm,
7.25 mm...<br>
<br>
No more charts, tables or books to refer to. Easy as apple pie. Oops,
that's an American standard!<br>
