As someone getting into woodworking, I just opted for metric from the get go. Already used to it from custom cooling pc building where everything is machined and measured in mm's so the biggest ask was sourcing tools in metric, which isn't much to ask these days as most are dually measured

Not worth my time playing fractions games
