CAD drawings, with US measurements

Hi Everyone! Quick question before I get into all the tricky math, but has anyone converted the drawings to have US specs? Cheers!
Thanks Dave! I will toy around with the conversions, and if my math is any good, once I get a working model, I will post to the forum.
I sent the files off to the laser cutter to see what they could do they asked me what is the format or size as the parts.
The cut out for the axe looks like it will come out to small to fit the 27mm axe it self.
What are the files set up as or should i set them up as.
Before you go through and convert everything, be aware that many places in the US do NOT have steel thickness in mm. From hours f searching, the only places I could find were all online, and when I asked for a quote, they gave me a ridiculously high price for 3 sheets, 2 and a half grand. Would you be interested in doing a joint Autodesk Inventor assembly to make an English Standard variant for us here in the US?
this just popped into my head while reading this… i know that SolidWorks had the possibility to simply convert the metric into standard by itself (so 1mm would be converted into 0,03937 inch).
might just take a lot of the work straight from your hands… just a heads up 🙂
I’ve simply created a project in Autocad Fusion 360, uploaded the models and converted their units to inches. However, I’m pretty sure in order to really meet standard US sizes, we’re going to need to rebuild some parts of the models.

I’m not allowed to login in with this Hub autodeskA360 tells me.
If you want, perhaps we can find a way to share my original fushion models,
Until I can figure out how to share the entire project, I’ve added links directly to the machines above.
I’m working on more suitable conversions (for the Extrusion machine) in the spreadsheet below as well.

I rebuilt most of the extrusion machine using US standard sizes.
