If you Google "decimal fraction metric chart" and search the images I'm sure there will be one that suits your needs.

KBC Tools gives away a wall-size chart with their tool catalog. I think you can request the catalog online. Or if you are going to be near the Toronto airport, you could drop in and pick up a copy.I also would like to find a decimal to fractions chart. But that only gets me in the ball park. What do you do when it’s halfway between 1/2” and 9/16”? Or halfway between 9/16” and 5/8”?
I’ll have to grab that tonight, thanks!Here is one from Starrett
I think it’s time I found a vise for the drill press. The ol’ “wear leather gloves and move fast” works but it’s not great long term

Fabbed up a bracket for a buddy yesterday and he gave me stainless to make it from, not my most favourite metal to work with. But it’s done
Well I
The 2nd is colour coding the fasteners I am constantly using. I picked up a bunch of dollar store nail polish that sits in a bin and I use it to mark fasteners that I know I could go back to and don't want to be looking for the right tool for. It may look stupid, but it is a lot easier to look for the orange hex key than fuck around trying to get the right key and go back and forth, especially if its somewhere less than convenient.
Yep, I use the C clamp style vise grips on flat stock, they work nice.

It’s not a huge issue, it would just be faster than googling every time.
Thats fractions to fractions9/16 = 18/32
5/8 = 20/32
19/32 is in the middle, don't have to look anything up?
Thats fractions to fractions
I can’t do 0.620 to 21/32” in my head
I've got one of those and they're ok, but it spends more time off the drill press than on. I honestly prefer to use strap clamps, I've had smaller drill grab and throw the vise too many times. They're annoying to set up often but it's worth the extra time to use them.I don't own a cam action drill press vise but I've always been curious if they might be faster to set up on a variety of part sizes to hold. I'm kicking myself because there was a CDN seller on Ebay that was blowing out a progressive size range with decent shipping cost. Looks like I waited too long. Their pictures looked decent but they were obviously offshore. Some had side lug, others were flat. Anyways they generically look like this. Maybe others have some user experience. I was thinking of of using it for my bandsaw too.
Go to any tooling supplier and they'll likely give you a wall chart, I've got 3 from act here in Calgary and they're super useful. You can also use the calculator (at least on Android) and it'll show you the fraction of the decimal number but it doesn't work backwards. I'm SURE there's an app for this but a lot of them want money for a tap chart which I think is a little much.I think it’s time I found a vise for the drill press.
