This weekend I used a Starrett metric 3.5m tape measure and a Disston D7 crosscut panel saw that was made between 1888 and 1896.



I grew up working with fractions, and I've got a head for math and numbers so fractions don't bother me. But metric tape measures are so much easier to deal with. I started out with a Starrett that was metric and English, but then realized that it would be easier having the same scale on both sides of the blade. I do prefer the 5m a bit more. It's got better ridigity.
