So, basically a 50x100mm piece of lumber?
(I rounded those values because if the US were to go metric, the dimension would slightly change, rather than being exactly 50.8 by 101.6 mm)
- kennywinker 4y agoExcept, per my original point - it’s called a 2x4 - but it’s not actually 2 inches by 4 inches, which would be as you say 50ish x 100ish mm. In reality it’s actually standardized to be 38 x 89 mm
- Akronymus 4y agoGuess 40 by 90 then. What I tried to convey, in a stupid way, is that there wouldnt be an exact translation of the measurements into metric, but that the dimensions qould slightly change in switching over. and now I realize that that point was irrelevant anyways. Sorry for derailing the thread with useless replies.
