    I hope you are joking. There are no decimals in standard measuring systems. Decimals are a Communist plot. ;-)

      Unless you’re doing any kind of precision manufacturing, then it’s decimal inch notation.

        The steel that I cut has thickness measured in millimeters, the program wants it in fraction inches, and the torch spacing is in decimal inches. It’s a catastrophe but Im getting pretty good at in/mm conversion
