Carpentry is a bad example... 1/4 inch vs 6mm or 7mm doesn't make any difference in this low precision craft... it is far from being precise to the millimeter..

Carpentry is a bad example... 1/4 inch vs 6mm or 7mm doesn't make any difference in this low precision craft... it is far from being precise to the millimeter... Even if you were doing higher precision wood working, you could make your box-joint 6mm wide instead of 1/4" and it would still be a perfect fit.... Also, try dividing an inch into tenths using a ruler?
- jpindar 12y agoIn fields where precision does matter - such as machining or PCB design - decimal inches are used. Calipers work in decimal inches and steel rules are often marked in tenths. PCB layout programs typically allow you to use either millimeters or mils.
