Length conversion calculator

Use this tool to compare drawing dimensions and shop measuring systems. Conversion does not change a tolerance requirement or imply that a converted value has additional measurement accuracy.

Formula and inputs

1 inch = 25.4 mm; 1 foot = 304.8 mm.

Worked example

25.4 mm equals exactly 1 inch.

Use the result in your setup

Confirm the input dimensions and unit system against your drawing before calculating. Keep full precision during a calculation and round only the final value to suit the measurement or programming requirement. A numerical result does not account for a machine’s complete setup, workholding or control configuration.
