How to measure .045 inch?

[Eigenvector]

Wouldn't even be close, card stock is like .5 mm or something. Like I suggested back when, use a CD, they're .047" thick.

I just grabbed a plug and eyeballed an 045 gap. Ended up close to 050 but that's still within tolerances.

Very very close to 3/64 which is .0469 (rounded off). If you absolutely can't go get a plug gap gauge use a 3/64 drill bit. Assuming you have one that is.

inside? outside? clearances for measurement device? down in a hole? Accuracy? If you know the dimension, why do you need to measure it? ;-)
