Thanx! a good reference to keep around….. now if everyone would only work in metric…. we wouldn’t have these problems to begin with would we? lol…

sorry, but metric just makes sense, and working in fractions is a pain in the a$$ sometimes.

Thanks Charlie. Print out nice on the color laser.

I couldn’t agree with you more. But the old inches and fractions system just wont die.

If I’m not mistaken, it was something like 30-40 years ago when it was officially announced that the U.S. would be going to the metric system. I guess the wheels of progress turn slowly, huh? :-)

Charlie,

I really apprciate your sharing this with us. This will come in soooo handy!

That’s pretty handy… looks like a good reference to put in the shop… Thanks Charlie!

That’s going in the shop. Thanks for the effort!

I definitely appreciate your work on this but I won’t be using it. sorry. Canada had the metric system forced on us a number of years back and one thing I have learned in that time is to never convert.
If it’s in imperial measure use imperial. If it’s in metric use metric. The cost of appropiate measuring instruments is very low compared with the aggravation and inaccuracy of converting. Just the opinion of one ticked Canadian. It wasn’t broken and didn’t need fixing.

-- If we learn from our mistakes, I'm getting a fantastic education.

LOL, MrWoody!

I’ll try not to take it personally. :-)

I know what you mean I have sliding ruler that works well but get yourself a tape measure with both English on top and Metric at the bottom

Thanks Charlie. I use both out in the shop. At time I find that metric is more accurate.

The chart is super.

Thanks Charlie,

I am lucky, I have a built in converter on my cell phone:)

Thanks, Charlie. Powerful tool, that Excel. One of the best things Bill Gates ever sprang on us (I recall trying to use Lotus123 with a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth).
