kmmcrafts Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I have a friend trying to figure out what size bit he needs to fit a clock insert.. The mounting diameter is 55mm but Im not sure what that = in inch or what size bit he needs.. Thanks for anyone that can help.. I only deal with the small 1-7/16 clocks for the most part..

Sorry, I hit the wrong key. It should have said 25.4 not 26.4. 1" = 25.4 mm. 55mm divided by 25.4 = 2.17. So, he will have to enlarge a 2" hole saw hole a wee bit.

kmmcrafts Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Thanks guys, I don't know why he said he's having a hard time finding a bit.. I did a google after I asked here and found several sites selling 55mm bits.. including grizzly.. LOL OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 55 mm equals 2 11/64 inches . Here a place to calculate these types of measurements too. https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/length/mm-to-inch.html OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 If it is a 60mm insert it fits in a 55mm hole or 2-1/8" If it is a 55mm insert then it fits in a 50mm hole or 2" hole kmmcrafts and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
