I built a focused mm to inches converter for decimal and fractional inch workflows

I built a small utility site for a very specific workflow: converting millimeters to decimal inches, fractional inches, and common conversion chart lookups.

Why this exists:

  • Product dimensions often mix metric and imperial units.
  • Woodworking and DIY users often need fractional inches, not only decimal values.
  • 3D printing / engineering users may need more precision.
  • Search users often want a direct answer for a specific value like 10 mm to inches or 3/8 inch to mm.

I’m keeping it simple: fast converter, chart pages, no login. Feedback is welcome, especially around whether the fractional-inch UX is clear enough.
