Hi all, in my continued search for a mill, I wonder how much the pitch type (I don't think that the right term) of the lead screw matters.
I know that some of the small mills have metric lead screws but dials in thousands with some weird fraction left over.
I would put a DRO on any mill I buy so I would think that it wouldn't matter whether the lead screws were metric or imperial.
Or am I missing something completely obvious?
