The calipers I bought for prototyping and 3D printing came today— I should have paid more attention! It’s imperial!? WTF. what kind of creep takes measurements in “hundredths of inches” ?

The depravity continues with fractional measurements all around the dial allowing monstrous numbers like “13.5 16ths of an inch. “ No.

I just need to find someone to pawn this cursed item off on and i’ll buy another.

@futurebird I worked in a naval shipyard here in the US. I was a machinist and all measurements were in .001 to .0001 inches. Yes, I wish the US switched to SI many years ago.
