Guys-
I noticed on another thread that discusses shim stacks that the poster had shown two shims of equal diameter and thickness, with a side note that said basically "equals two".
EX: 11 x 0.10
11 x 0.10 (equals a two)
Sorry guys, but it does not! Dont get sucked into thinking that (for
example) that if you want a 0.20 shim in your stack and all you have
is two 10'sthat it's okay and that it's the same thing. It's not...
In fact, I recall finding out that in some instances it can take up to sixty (60!) 0.10 shims to equal one 0.20 shim.
Now, I don't know the math for this and everyone seems to have their own formula anyways. Maybe Jeremy has an answer we can all live with????
