£1 kerf gauge

I read today that the new £1 coin is 2.8 mm thick. That's got to be handy for something where many a Freud, etc. saw blade is concerned.

A 2p is 25mm.

A 2p is 25mm.

All mine are 25.9mm diameter.

I'm glad someone checked that - I'd been working in metric and thinking metric. It wasn't 25mm at all - it was an inch, which for a quick measurement of say three or four inches is accurate enough for many purposes especially when you know which side the error is on.

A 2p is 25mm.

This is wrong sorry.

How many £1 coins would you need to stack up to make a Festool?

 

[sunnybob]

Nobody seems to have picked up the fact that the first post referred to thickness, not diameter?

Went to Lloyds bank today to get new £1's. Told that haven't got any and would only get them in if ordered by them when running out of old £1's. I suppose they know what they are doing?
