One is that it is highly unlikely that I could, or would ever need, to cut to a precision of even one sixty fourth of an inch. ...
So, I will be doing my drawings, such that one millimeter is one sixty fourth of an inch, and thus one inch is 64 millimeters.
You'll have to do metric/imperial conversions anyway since sheet goods don't seem to be available in actual imperial thickness (1/2" stock is 12mm, 3/4" is 18mm, etc), at least around here.
