Hi Allen,

I usually use 4 of them.

.005
.01
.02
.03

I use the .01 the most.

Hey Randy:
Your sizes must be in inches ?  
All the specs I see online the tip sizes are in mm.

Allen,

Might be. I am using the Pigma pens rather than Rapidograph. I also have a set of Stadler-Mars jobs, but the ink is not great in those so I went back to the Pigma jobs. That's how they are marked.
