Well I suppose that this might get a few people ruffled, but I will ask anyway. Should I design my personal projects in Metric or Inch? I live in the United States by the way.
Personally I love metric and wish the US would adopt it. But almost everything is cheaper in Inch.
Currently, I am designing a automatic tool changer. I am basing my design on a German design that has been around for a while. So naturally I would like to stick to the original metric. But the stock aluminum that I will be using is much cheaper in Inch. I plan on building a slantbed cnc lathe to go with the tool changer. Should I convert it to Inch because most lathes in the US are this way?
So what to do?
