All it comes down to is set up honestly. Our old clearing lathe is all in standard, so trying to machine anything with metric units means a bunch of conversions, each one an opportunity for error. Easier just to do it in standard when the machine over double my age is already set up for it! Plus the thread cutting portion i would have no idea how to convert. I’ll keep doing it in standard until my boss wants to covert 🤷
