I had the unique experience in my life of working for an American company here in oz years ago for over 20 years now because living in a metric country on a daily bases I worked in both metric and imperial depending on what job I had to make for which ever country it went to. we never converted sizes we just worked in whatever was needed on the blue prints so with tape measures, rulers or micrometres either in feet, inches, thousands of an inch , hundredths of a millimetre, millimetres, centimetres or meters it was all the same to me and still is.so don’t try and convert just think in both I guess its sort of like being able to speak 2 different languages.

I let that out of the brain more than 45 years ago. lol. I remember what 19mm is and thats only because I grab a 19MM wrench sometimes from my wrench set to twin up with 3/4. Kind Regards, Timothy J.

Instead, we have been stuck with a real mixed bag of crap when it comes to measurements - length, volume, weight, etc. Thank you Great Britain! NOT!!! (Sorry, Brigitte!) If you know any cabinet shop pros (other than yourself) that have at least half a brain - they build in metric. The math is SO MUCH EASIER! Tim, you need to drop your pre-conceived notions/opinions and build just ONE project using metric measurements. You won't go back!

For those people like me. (not good with the metric system.) 1500mm (59") Is what I used depending on which rail you buy the price range could be $48.-$70. for two rails and bearings. and for this 500. the 1000 (39 23/64") for $48.00 would be a cheap investment for you Legacy. ;-) OK!
