What gauge is steel 1mm/0.039in Thickness

[Dave Lehnert]

Looking at tool boxes, One has a stated steel thickness of 1mm/0.039in Thickness. What gauge is that equivalent to?

[Paul F Franklin]

If galvanized, 20 gauge. If plain steel, between 20 and 19.

Looks to be right around 20 gauge Dave. Here's (https://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/scales/sheetmetal.html) a chart I found.

[Edit: Looks like Paul and I posted at the same time. :D]

Thanks!
20-19 is what I thought. Just thought it was kinda odd that it falls in between.

If it is made overseas they may not use U.S. gauge sizing.
