Taking a little survey today. What is your preferred unit of measurement, English or Metric? I typically use English but I have found that if I need to really be super precise I find myself shifting to metric.

If I'm making a bunch of the same things on the lathe, I usually make a setup jig for the various diameters for the turnings. This permits quick settings of the calipers to a known dimension. When turning "one off" type objects, the dimensions are often only needed once or twice for the entire project. That usually means locating the rule, holding it in one hand a adjusting with the other. Not that it's such a big deal but usually just finding the darned ruler can be time consuming. The light bulb went on while turning some ornaments for the Easy Wood Tools Christmas tree. A couple of years ago, the tape measure on my Vega table saw fence tube started to come loose. I ordered another stick on tape from "Kreg" to replace it. Unfortunately the one I needed to replace was for a curved tube surface and the Kreg was for a flat surface. Still I've been able to use it for just these types of ideas- Even though the numbers aren't "calibrated" I can get quick settings up to about 6", with one hand and no searching for that darned ruler!
