I will stick to imperial, sounds like everything i asked for metric there is always a reason not to use metric. When it is asked about imperial, people just says this is the way…
Btw i am an engineer and totally understand metric, is is really just understanding the decimal system 10s 100s 1000s 10000s for whole numbers.
Like i said it is easier, sort of like xommon core math. Lol
Hey @satoer, hey all,
It should not be forgotten what is requested here by the original poster: That a manufacturer who originates from Canada, a country that adopted SI units and calculating in powers of ten, that clearly targets a market that is a country, the United States, that adopted SI units and calculating in powers of ten already long ago and had a big success in doing so, in its machine specification documents,
ADDITIONALLY gives the machine measurements in metric units,
which, with the exception of a fraction of individuals in countries that were part of the historical British Empire that understandably still mix both systems during the phase of transition (as @SurfinGump mentioned above), and the small, but “difficult” group in the U.S., everybody on the whole world uses as their measurement units (and who have difficulties to imagine what the inch-measurements given mean for this reason (=that e.g. with the Onefinity Journeyman, you can find a CNC machine here with a 120 x 80 cm workarea, with entirely metric holes, bolts, threads and components like ball screws all over the machine).
The U.S. does not use the Imperial system. We use the U.S. Customary system. U.S.C. and Imperial units of length happen to be the same, but units of volume are not; e.g., a U.S. liquid pint is not equal to an Imperial pint.
In any case, U.S.C. units are officially and legally defined in terms of SI (“metric”) units. A U.S.C. inch is defined as exactly 2.54 centimeters, A. U.S.C. liquid gallon is defined as exactly 3.785411784 liters. There are no separate standards for Customary units.
It’s odd that they don’t, given that 1F is a Canadian company. Plus, just about all the components in the machines are metric. Maybe they outsourced the documentation writing to a U.S. (or Liberian🤣 ) company.
Ok so imperial it is then. Lol
