At the college I went to as part of my apprenticeship everything was in standard. But the company that was paying for my college was 100% metric

Yes in America lol

Bc that was the automotive industry.

Making parts mostly for Mercedes Benz….

I’m a tool maker by trade

But I went from stamping and casting ( metal)

To plastics

Injection molding

Making outdoor power equipment

At Husqyvarna I would say it was about 50/ 50 metric and standard

Everything from China was obviously metric

But now at STIHL you know like the chainsaws

We make them in Virginia Beach

USA

And everything is metric. JS

Wow, that's quite the transition in measurement systems! Do you find it challenging to switch back and forth between metric and standard in your line of work? #tools #manufacturing #metricvsstandard

Converting back and forth is easy. It’s all digital now. Like if u type in the # in inches, hit the button that says metric and it automatically converts.
