1/2.9 (one two-point-ninth) or 1/2.7 (a two-point-seventh), instead of just some kind of simpler number like either the closest standard even fraction of an inch (like a set of 32nds or 64ths, such as 21/64), or simply .33 inches (for 1/3 inches) or .34" (for 1/2.9) or .37" (for 1/2.7 inches)? Or why don't they just use metric measurements for those chips, which, in mm or cm would probably sound less complicated than "one two-point-seventh of an inch"?
Or BETTER YET, if they already make a simple 1/2" chip, why don't they just also make the smaller versions (1/3, 1/2.9, 1/2.7, etc.) so that they measure to the more standard fractions of inches (even more standard than 32nds or 64ths, such as 16ths or 8ths), such as 3/8" (which is just 6/16 instead of the 5.33/16" that 1/3" is)?
Hey, will you come back and see my responses to your answers, please?
Thanks.
