    I've been looking for one that is black with white lettering. Anyone run across one in their searches let me know please.
    Thanks,

    Kirk—and everyone else—Mcmaster Carr is your friend. They have several to choose from—

    Kirk I just noticed the scales Mcmaster has are the opposite of what you are looking for—white with black lettering, not black with white.

    I use these on my table saw, ebay item #371122312933 you must have something similar in the US. They do not last as long as the metal versions but I just replace them every couple of years but they do have both metric & imperial scales. The metallic ones are available from KREG ebay item #121167485637 and they can be bought reading left to right or right to left and either metric or imperial.
