info on LSR roller nut

axisus

I'm trying to find info on the LSR roller nut, both dimensions and fitting BUT ...... in metric and not all that imperial malarkey that the Americans insist upon. Has anyone seen such stuff? I've been googling in my lunch break and nothing hath been yet found.

Can't get my head around fractions of an inch

Express as a simple fraction, then as a decimal, then multiply by 25.4.

eg - 1-11/16" is 27 / 16 * 25.4 = 42.8625, or 42.9mm to close enough for guitar work.

eh? ... er ... the what?

So width of 42.9mm? If so thanks!

Well... 1-11/16 is 27 16ths (16 + 11), so if you divide 27 by 16 you get the imperial measurement expressed as a decimal (1.6875), although you don't actually need to know that number other than to then multiply it by 25.4, which is the number of millimetres in an inch.

Apart from the width of the nut all the other measurements are smaller than an inch, so it's even easier because they're already simple fractions. Divide the top number by the bottom one (or the first by the second if they're written horizontally) and multiply by 25.4. Simples...

Ahhh, I get that. Thanks!

Or type "1 11/16 to mm" into Google

my mac has a units conversion widget - use it a lot for metric /inch conversion

Interesting, I wonder if I have it? I don't suppose you sell LSR nuts?

I've used this for years - small free download - https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/

Converts all sorts, distance, vol, weight, pressure, flow etc. You have to give it decimals to work for lengths but I copy/paste in from the PC calculator if needed.

You can just type things into a google search and it will tell you.
