Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: gm-cm to oz/inches conversion?

10 Newtons is a kilo, they're 100 grams each. And a newton meter is just the
measurement of torque on a lever's pivot. I thought it'd be easier because
more things would be rated for their max. torque (Distance x Mass). I hate
levers anyway, no matter how essential they are to life.
