Actually on metric, the trapezoidal do not start until 10mm, the smaller
metric sizes are 'speedy' which looks more 'v' like - can't see any fine
detail on the profile though.
But you are right that the Acme versions go down to 1/4".
( The UK catalogues tend to be metric and give me prices which is useful
and which is where I'm getting my current data ;) )
