barra Report post Posted August 15, 2007 I have been reading various posts and people are referring to the different thread sizes but the numbering has me confused. I hear thread sizes like #207, #92 and #138. All I can fathom is these thread sizes are Imperial sizes. I think you guys call Imperial, standard measurements (oh shoot, not metric). The threads In Australia are referred to by ticket size eg ticket 8 is thick like twine. Other common thread sizes are ticket 12, 18, 25, 36 and 40. The higher the ticket number, the thinner the thread. Barra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
