gutterWhere are the matric units? All I see is prefixes explained
MercivalMy sibling in Satan, that’s the backbone of the metric system. Nobody said anything about units.
Gotcha, so we’re talking kilotons and microinches then?
Or is it actually the units that units that make the metric system scary to Americans?
Woodworkers use the “metric system” all the time it seems. “Thousandths of an inch” is a common unit.
Yep, I hear them referred to as “mils”. Although for more casual usage it’s far more common to use 1/x^2 measurements like 1/8" or 13/64". Thankfully my job has only really needed up to the 32ndth.
