What is a finger (cloth) in measurement?

It is a traditional, informal unit based on the breadth of a human finger used for small textile increments.

Is rope a fixed unit of length?

No, rope is a non-standard descriptor that varies in length depending on context.

Can I use this converter for precise engineering work?

No, due to the variable nature of these units, standard measurements are recommended for technical use.
