I’m somewhat of an old gear head Imperial system . I’ve come to the point that I don’t even like writing down fractions anymore. I’d rather write down decimals of an inch (ie.12.656 than 12 21/32)
If I’m calling it out, to be cut by a partner, I work to 1/16” Light, half, or heavy. This gets me close to 1/64”
One of my newer machines is metric(planer). Some of my more recent drawings are now metric. But I still preferre to use Imperial. 95% of my machines are imperial and all my measuring instruments are Imperial.
How goes your struggle?
How many guys are still using the vernier scale for 1/128 or 1/256???
Thank you 25.4!
