When you turn on the blade it has a laser line that is supposed to hit the left had side of the kerf. Even though I allowed for it, my cut lengths were off a bit. The saw hasn't been used in a while and I finally went back to square one and started re-adjusting the guide and bevel to be square and true. For some reason my combination square has disappeared so I'll pick up a new one this week.Irishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09772405362867585844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-18519630524157543892019-11-18T00:19:06.041-05:002019-11-18T00:19:06.041-05:00I'm not seeing where you indicates the blade i...I'm not seeing where you indicates the blade in.

My dial calibers don't get near wood or Phenolic dust. It'll fuck them up quick. And yea, I can't do wood projects inside my home either.

I got a Franklin Arsenal inexpensive digital as part of some reloading supplies I bought at auction about 25 years ago. I trusted my dial caliper and I seemed to be zeroing the digital caliper all the time. A company I worked for issued me a Mitutoyo digital that somehow ended up in my personal toolbox. I like the Mitutoyo.Tsquarednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-31904564789462719552019-11-17T12:26:12.675-05:002019-11-17T12:26:12.675-05:00If your calipers are accurate to 0.0001" you ...If your calipers are accurate to 0.0001" you don't need a micrometer.
