Knowfish Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Can someone please give me the height (thickness) measurement? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 gauge or thickness, as measured with a steel rule is about 12mm "I have no idea what Pat Donnelly is measuring." - previous measurement was for the heel receiver TD3 SI (3mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowfish Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 3mm seems kind of skinny. For reference a TD2 block is 16.37mm (0.645") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Um, ask Fin. What is this for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Is there a height difference between a TD3 'Standard' and 'Step-in' block? I'm using a TD2 toe block with a TD3 SI receiver. I just measured my TD3 standard toe and heel blocks and were just at 1/2 inch. I was using a cheap caliper, not the precision tool I keep at work, otherwise I would give you an answer accurate to .0001 I have no idea what Pat Donnelly is measuring.

KingCrimson Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Given he said gauge, he probably measured the bail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Given he said gauge, he probably measured the bail. Which still makes no sense as my TD bails measure 1/4" diameter (calculates to about 6.4 mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 gauge or thickness, as measured with a steel rule is about 12 mil"I have no idea what Pat Donnelly is measuring." - previous measurement was for the heel receiver TD3 SI in some areas of engineering discipline when 'mil' is used folks are actually meaning 1/1000 of an inch (0.001). For example, in printed circuit design it it is common to hear "5 mil lines and spaces" which means circuit traces are .005 inch wide nominal and spaces between traces are .005 inch nominal. Same kind of thing for film thicknesses. When millimeters are the unit used... mm is the designation. Pat's earlier (since edited away) measurement of "3 mil" apparently was of the thickness of the steel sheet the receiver was stamped out of. 3mm x .03937 inch/mm = .118 inches..... which seems to make sense, but does not appear to be what Knowfish asked about. (EDIT: just went to my bookshelf and pulled out my Ryerson catalog. Pat's dimension seems to line up with 11 gauge Cold Rolled Steel sheet & coil ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 What does sole block mean? you have your toe block, heel block or heel reciever then your base plate. Re-define you question (oops he's been bombered) Knowfish come back we won't hurt you (as long as you have thick skin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowfish Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks bjvircks, that's the measurement I was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
