    I replaced my digital caliper with an imperial dial caliper not realizing that it would read in 1/10ths of inches. My mind is struggling with converting those measurements into standard woodworking terms.. Should I continue or just spend another $12 on a metric version?

      @rvaughnmd Are you in more than $12 worth of pain in converting? It sounds like it. Go metric.

          Take a metric one and keep the imperial for the "just in case" moments.
