Measuring draft

Measuring draft

(OP)
What is the equal in mm to draft angle,   1 degree = ? mm

RE: Measuring draft

An angle is an angle. The degree of an angle is the same in inches as it is in a meric drawing. The only way you can put a measurable dimension on an angle is at some measurable distance form a base point/plane.

RE: Measuring draft

Perhaps someone was trying to figure out an angle based on some measurements and eh?-squared plus be-square equals see-double-squared.

RE: Measuring draft

I have seen a 1 degree taper called up as .017mm/1mm on some old polystyrene casting designs, but not for a long time.

I would suspect this is a modern twist on go get some metric sine tables, I only have imperial ones.
