Some time ago I was employed to install the audio wiring in a new build
recording studio.
In one room, I was astounded to find the carpenter had pencilled in the
width of one wall using a measurement of feet, inches, and so many 8ths of
an inch.

So he was only working to an accuracy of 16th of an inch, which is 1.58mm.
To me, this is completely unacceptable in a professional environment, and
the basis of my posts in this thread.


Idiot. The saw kerf is 1/8" or wider, depending on the type of saw
blade that are used for framing work. Wood expands and contracts with
changes in humidity. This isn't precision machining, where you work to
mill, or a percentage of a mil.
