Frequently asked questions

Is 1.2mm bigger than a standard paperclip thickness?
A standard paperclip is about 0.9mm thick, so 1.2mm (0.047 inches) is slightly thicker. This measurement is comparable to the thickness of two sheets of standard printer paper stacked together, making it useful for small mechanical tolerances in jewelry, electronics, or precision manufacturing.
Will a 1.2mm drill bit fit through a standard sewing needle hole?
No. A standard sewing needle has a hole diameter of about 1.0-1.1mm, so a 1.2mm (0.047 inch) drill bit would be too large. However, 1.2mm is a common size for small precision holes in watch repair, eyeglass frames, and delicate electronics where tight tolerances matter.
