Noodling around, I followed a link to a site for a “Pattern Maker’s Calculator”. The calculator is freeware, so I DL’d it for evaluation. The Good News is that it has the ability to add dimensions, down to the 32nd.It also has a conversion ability between Metric and Imperial. The Bad News, if you can call it bad, is that it is geared towards tailors, working with clothing patterns. The URL is…http:\pattern.stringcodes.com Note the lack of triple “W”, if included, you will get an error msg.

It's not free but a "Construction Master" calculator
does that and much more.
I like the circle functions.
Why not just use a hand calculator? It will make it accurate to a 256th of an inch or a hundredth mm. Probably just as fast.

Good post.. Look around the net when you have nothing better to do.. There are litterly thousands of them out ther for free! SOme you have to use 'online' some you can download.. I'm sure something is out ther that 'fits' your needs!
I just use 24.5 or is it 25.4 mm per inch.. No wonded one end of my projects are a bit smaller or larger than I wanted!
25.4= 1"
