24 GA Stainless Steel is 0.239" per the U.S. Standard Gage for Uncoated Hot- & Cold-Rolled Sheets. The thickness is not dependent on the material type. The number 4 refers to the surface finish. It only affects the thickness in that it removes some of the surface material. A number 4 finish is rougly equivalent to sanding with 180 grit sandpaper. Small grooves are left in the surface parallel to the length of the member.

The simple answer is that stainless steel oxidises during the cutting process and this has to be removed before and further process can take place. Oxy Acetylene cutting equipment cannot be used because the oxygen reacts with the chromium and nickel to create a very aggressive and thick oxide layer on the cut material and this is very difficult to remove. During the TIG welding process (commonly used for the first run in butt welds in stainless steel) the same problem arises unless the welding is carried out in an inert atmosphere (usually high purity argon) hence the need for backing gas when welding stainless steel piping.
No, depending on what system you have. Most are capable of penetrating anything but steel or thick concrete.
18 gauge stainless steel is 0.0500 inches thick.
11 ga stainless steel is 0.1250 inches thick

The difference between 18 gauge and 22 gauge stainless steel is the thickness. The 18 gauge is 0.050" thick, and the 22 gauge is 0.031" thick. A link is provided below to an article with a list of the conversions. You'll note that the cited thickness for the gauges of stainless do not apply to galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc, brass or other metals.

A 21 Gage Steel plate is about 1/32 inch thick. Various charts put it at .032" to .033". That is for plain steel. Galvanized, aluminum and stainless have different measurements for the same gage.
The watch is 10mm thick.

There are steel horses over Vantage, Washington (Grandfather releases the ponies) that are expected to last 50,000 years. Stainless steel might last even longer, depending upon the grade. Stainless steel encased in a thick, airtight glass case should last practically forever. Stainless steel wire dragging behind a tractor trailer on a northern deiced coastal freeway, however, might only survive a few days.
3/16" or 0.1875" *** 7 gauge steel sheet is .1793", not .1875" *** Different metals have different thickness for their gauge...mild steel is .1793, aluminum is .1443, stainless steel is .1875
The actual thickness associated with a "gauge range" varies largely by industry. Gauges are OK for ball-parking, but are not adequate for engineering purposes. Producing mills and reputable service centers work from actual measurements or minimum thicknesses.
