Q2 - I've been outside the US for a decade... does your tool also have metric units?
Q3 - Can you measure one of the older die-cut titles like Eastern Front or Bulge?
Q1: Yes, "some sort" of calipers with 0.001" accuracy according to the claim of the manufacturer (Yuasa - a Japanese company). Its actually more accurate than that as one can interpolate between "ticks," but I thought two significant digits was sufficient.
Q2: multiply the value in inches by 25.4 mm/inch (although my measurements contain only two significant digits).
Q3: An older RtB set gives 0.044-0.045". Thicker than BN, but less so than BSS and KSF.
Some might note the following fractional equivalents:
1/64" = 0.0156"
2/64" = 0.0313"
3/64" = 0.0469"
4/64" = 0.0625"
5/64" = 0.0781"
6/64" = 0.0939"
