Does anyone know where I can find Imperial/Metric rules for my Seneca Parallel Guides.  I really like the guides, but don't like the rules, so I'm looking for rules that will allow me to use either Imperial or Metric measurements.
 
Starrett do self-adhesive rules in Imperial, metric and combined Imperial/metric versions. Would those work?

EDIT: Noticed they are no longer available... bear with me...  [wink]

EDIT2: Looks like other places still do them...

And that Biesemeyer do some too...

I wish they would, but I don't think so.  They have to flex and slide into a slot, not just stick on, which would be too simple.

Can you post a picture with some sizes?
 
The Incra rules linked above is the size I need, however I was hoping to find rules with both Imperial and Metric on them, so that I could have the choice.

But what is the width of the tape? Might be able to find something from another supplier if we know the width...

Sorry...I believe they are 1/2" tape.
