I've been reading about home-made jigs, templates, fences, etc. and notice they all seem to have fractional dimensions (3 3/16", 1 7/8", etc.) for length and width? Even project designs (tables, shelves, etc.) seem to do the same??
Just wondering why nobody seems to use whole inches (except for the thickness) wherever they can?
I've only made a handfull of simple things so far and always start with overall dimensions in whole inches, then cut pieces accordingly to achieve that intent in the end.
