Woodworkers use the “metric system” all the time it seems. “Thousandths of an inch” is a common unit.

Yep, I hear them referred to as “mils”. Although for more casual usage it’s far more common to use 1/x^2 measurements like 1/8" or 13/64". Thankfully my job has only really needed up to the 32ndth.
