    Default Help, my Mitre 1000HD is in imperial

    Hi. I recently bought an Incra Mitre gauge 1000Hd from the US. Its the first thing like this that I've bought and was feeling pretty chuffed with myself considering the cost savings until I noticed that the three measurement scales on it are in imperial. I thought there might be metric ones in the box too, but no luck there. I do everything in metric. Any ideas what I can do ?

    Cheers

    For a second there, I wondered what 90 degrees was in Metric .

    I did the same but bought the green metric ratchet inserts and tape.

    thanks guys.
    I didnt know that joint (woodworksupplies) existed - I guess because their website is such a pig on an Ipad. They have some interesting stuff if you persist.
