I'd like to replace the tape rule that came with my Jet contractor table saw with one that reads out in both inches and metric, but have not been able to find such a thing. Anyone know where I might find one? Needs to be self-adhesive.

TIA.

Lee Valley (of course :) ) has them. See http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&cat=1,43513,43517&p=32550

Hi I replaced the metric only tapes on my saw with the metallic metric/english tapes that are marketed under the Delta or Biesemeyer label. They are very accurate. I got them from Tool Crib via amazon website. They have all diffferent sizes and styles.
take care,
John

Frank beat me to it! I was just looking at the new Lee Valley flyer in the "library" the other day and saw the inch/metric "bench tape". I may buy one for my saw just for grins.
