Measuring draft

[Randy11]

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

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.

This question reminds me of the old joke of sending a noobie engineer to the production floor to get a set of "cable stretchers" Randy11, I have a feeling someone was pulling your leg.

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

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.
