Luc, <snip> The only place metric fails is in micro measurements where 1000's of an inch is required, but that is neither here nor there for the average person.
One 1000th of an inch is 0.0254 milimeter. Rather coarse for machining ... We have milimeters (1/1000th of a meter) and micrometers (1/1000th of a mm). So, what's not covered by metric? You can go smaller still, we've got Angstroms. 1000's of an inch are regularly used by the average rodbuilder. But these are easily transformed into metric units.
