Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well 1 mm is just under 1/16 of an inch!. 5mm is about 1/4 inch!.
So 3x5 is much bigger than a pencil point!.
A pencil point, if dull, is about 0!.5 mm diameter, and an eraser end about 6mm diameter!. (round)!.
A sharp pencil point would be roughly 1/10 of 1 mm or 0!.1 mm!.
so 3x5 mm would be almost the size of a punched hole is a sheet of paper - yes I know this is not round - but it is the closest thing I can think of!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
