How did you guys cope before a sensible measuring system came in? :evil: I can just about cope with fractions of an inch, and thank goodness I'm not having to deal with thousandths of an inch too! I just don't have a feel for what 3/8" is!



I'm trying to learn a bit of CAD too, so I sometimes like to challenge myself to recreate a part in CAD, it also helps check things will align as intended and highlight were a bit of fettling will be needed.

I find the imperial system quite easy compared with the system they taught when i was a lad
