Re: Cubic metres? cm^3? ?? What is its abbrev.??

Mining and earthworks tend to use BCM for 'bench cubic metre' and LCM for loose cubic metre, or just 'cubes'. Not much use for quantities smaller than that - although the linear dimensions used to achieve such cubes can be very finicky if you are pursuing a seam of gold, or doing final trim on some piece of construction.
