That’s just a mind-bending anachro-number, what does it mean?! Nearly 6/10ths of an inch...
you just say 'fifty eight thou'. american engineering types still use thousandths of an inch as a reasonably precise unit of measurement for things in areas like machining on lathes and so on. confusingly, they call ten-thousandths of an inch 'tenths'.
roughly 40 thou is a millimetre, so yeah 58 thou is 1.5mm near enough
