The post has been out there a while and we all assume it's a typo (I've
never seen the original poster reply about that) but 1/2 a centimeter
would make HUGE plates...1/2 a mm sounds MUCH more realistic...

Rough and ready. One inch is 'about' 25mm?
So 0.5 mm = 1/50th of inch?
Which = 0.02 inches?
That correct?
So 0.016" would be close????????????

Uuuh, I thought the OP said .5 CM, not MM... Slight difference by X10
