With Exact Spacing, if the 2nd to last member runs into the end member, the 2 end members combine (double members).
Drag the Centres or Total Length slider to see the effect of double end members.
If you're stuck with an end gap that's too small, or double end members, try Adjust Both Ends Equally to open and spread the gap to each end.
With Equal Spacing, centres are adjusted to fit equally, at nearest to (under) entered centres.
Drag the Members slider to add of remove members and adjust spacing.

If you're cutting blocks, concrete, stone or ANYTHING and there's DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's NO DUST - Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - theres dust in the spray mist too!

What do we think? - They're 2 different things:
A Meter is a device to measure things - like a Volt Meter or a Parking Meter
A Metre is about 3'-3~3/8"
Although diameter and perimeter as measurements - don't seem to fit very well

(And when we go back to the moon, let's go Metric, ay?)
