John Hartman rote, 11/14: <<I use metric for soundboard building and setting bearing because it is easier to remember than fractions and it forces me to work no finer than 1/4 mm.>> Personally, I have always liked the aircraft readings in 100ths and 50ths of an inch, as delivered by a machinist's 16R scale. My ole eyes can't quite make out the .01" marks, but .02" is still smaller than a mm. And of course you're still dealing in arithmetic-friendly decimals.
