news:062dnVEpXqyDHw7PnZ2dnUVZ5uudnZ2d@giganews .com:

I am a woodworker and routinely work with pieces that measure in 1/8"
resolution however the program is quite capable of accurately and quite
quickly drawing a box that is 4 1/16 x 5 3/64 x 9 19/32.

If I were using it for woodworking, I assume those accuracies would be
adequate, if a little gross for a CNC router...

But I work daily with sub-thousandth measurements. Do you really
understand how funny dealing with "thirty-secondths" sounds to a
metalworker?

As the watchmaker's apprentice said when seeing a 1/4-28 tap "My
God, I didn't know they made them that big!"

Yep. All depends on what you are used to working with.

Im surprised that no one noticed that the tap...is two taps diameters,
two different threads..on the same tap body.
