We have been discussing of we need to make changes in the shop as we seem to be constantly converting between metric and US std. I think it mostly has to do with the our machines and tooling. For instance, some vices are std, some are metric. Yes, you can "make it work", but also nice to have a firm std to work from in the shop. All our machines are Jap so metric, yet we run them in inches and use lots of metric tooling.
I am not looking for a novel, just curious if anyone has found a solution? It seems like the old Chevy problems. Is it a 1/2" or 13mm? Hell, I don't know. I don't even think GM does!
Since it would seem the USA is about the only ones stuck in "inch land", I would be curious what part of the world you are! I know it makes a difference. I go to the hardware store and get to pay double for metric bolts! WTF!
