In Reply to: The Metric System posted by John B. on December 19, 2008 at 17:45:15:
I use metric and inch measurement every day at work since blueprints can be either/or depending on the customer (older Caterpillar prints are in inch, newer are metric GD/T). I have become quite proficient in relating one to the other for offset and tool geometry adjustments as well as visual comparison since we frequently run inch programs generated from metric prints and vice versa. However, this comes from nearly 20 years in the machine shop and quality. New guys fall on their face trying to grasp it overnight and suffer because of it. We take a metric print write an inch cnc machine tool program then check it in metric on the coordinate measuring machine. You can see where the confusion comes in. I wish we (as a company and the US) would finally pick a way and stick with it. Metric is not that hard, just different.
