Michael, I do these kinds of projects all the time. I have learned the hard way that the best product for this is ApplePly or the equivalent from Murphy. Here is a link to what I normally use. The C-2

I work primarily in imperial units. With calipers and DRO displays it is easy to work with decimal inches. The exception is my 12¡± rule, which is graduated in 1/32¡± and 1/64¡± on one side, and mm
