Hoping someone can help with what I originally thought was a real simple question. But I’ve looked everywhere online, and the answers get complicated. I would like my Photoshop rulers to show actual inches. I know how to change the ruler from pixels to inches, but when I do, the “inches. The.50 Browning Machine Gun (.50 BMG, 12.7×99mm NATO and designated as the 50 Browning by the C.I.P.) is a.50 in (12.7 mm) caliber firearm cartridge developed for the M2 Browning machine gun in the late 1910s, entering official service in 1921.

Beside this, what is the actual size of a 4x4 post?

The lumber industry defines standard wood post sizes as 4x4 or 6x6. The outside dimensions of the standard 4x4 measure 3-1/2' x 3-1/2', and the outside dimensions of the standard 6x6 measure 5-1/2' x 5-1/2'.

Secondly, how wide is a 2 by 4? A piece of surfaced (sanded smooth) 2x4 lumber actually measures 1½ inches thick and 3½ inches wide. In rough-cut condition, a 2x4 is slightly less than 2 inches thick and approximately 4 inches wide. When wood is milled from a rough to a smooth surface, it loses about ¼-inch from each of its four sides.

Thereof, what size is 4/4 lumber?

Also in North America, hardwood lumber is commonly sold in a 'quarter' system, when referring to thickness; 4/4 (four quarter) refers to a 1-inch-thick (25 mm) board, 8/4 (eight quarter) is a 2-inch-thick (51 mm) board, etc.

Why is a 2x4 not 2 inches by 4 inches?

'Dimensional' lumber is the general name for framing lumber. Now, most timber is milled and planed to give it a little more of a finished look, and a little more of a consistent size and profile. Because of this extra milling, a 2x4 no longer measures a full 2 inches by four inches.
