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 -

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
If the US ever goes Metric, you'll be able to use a Meter to measure Meters - A Meter Meter
(And when we go back to the moon, let's go Metric, ay?)
All Inch inputs and dimensions are actual physical finished sizes (unless otherwise noted)
All Metric Inputs in Millimetres (unless otherwise noted)
