Yep, Something like "light 1/2" could be construed as 15/32 I suppose . Granted , I haven't done a lot of it , but I've been around some fine framers and trim carpenters all my life, never heard anything called out in 32nds.



"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
