| (...) Someone, long ago, posted measurements they took which have a better basis for accuracy in my view. The memory is hazy but I think what they did was build a very long wall, ensured it was linear, and measured stud center to stud center across (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) Bram, The metric I use is 1 LDU = 1/64". Here's how I derived it. The classic 2x4 brick is one and a quarter inches long (1.25") and is 80 LDU long. Thus, 80 LDU = 1.25" = 5/4". Dividing both sides by 80 gives 1 LDU = 5/320" = 1/64". Hope this (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad)

|
| [Please set the follow-up to the appropriate group] I'm currently taking a CNC class at school, so for a little side project I machined a couple 2x4 bricks out of aluminum on the EMCO PC 50 machines we have. Since I wanted to use a 1/8" flat end (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.cad)

| Richard, Have you gotten a user-ID for the Parts Tracker (at LDraw.org), yet? Once you've got an ID and password (ask Steve Bliss, the admin for the Tracker), you can post reviews of the new, prospective parts, or even post your own new parts files! (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad)
