You get a lot of exercise jumping to conclusions. My machines are not CNC. Neither are my measuring tools.
OK, so you're in the "acceptance" camp rather than the "education" one.
You are in the "doesn't read" camp. Physics and Computer Science degrees aren't handed out by gas stations.
Would it help your understanding to know that my metalworking equipment is for hobby purposes?
No, I honestly can't think of why the units matter on a machine tool. Other than the scales printed on the controls, what is there about a lathe or milling machine that is dependent on the unit of measurement? ...especially if it's not CNC?

Yes, I got that you have your degree. We're all very proud of you. Do you comprehend the meaning of the word "acceptance"? Are you claiming that you do accept the metric system and we are in agreement??? If not, then I think you're in the "acceptance" camp in your rejection of the metric system. You don't accept it, due to some other reason besides some inherent inferiority of metric.

What happened to the very expensive machining equipment? I thought that's what we were discussing. Why can't your expensive machining equipment cut parts that are 10.0 mm in diameter? I don't get why they would need to be replaced in order to do metric.
