Conversion chart for TS55?

[dwillis]

Okay, I'm lazy [wink], but has anyone put together a conversion chart and taped it to the side of a TS55 (or TS75) that lists the thickness of plywood and the corresponding depth setting (including rail)?  Because I cut a wide variety of material thicknesses I'm constantly changing the depth setting, and am just waiting to really screw up [scared] and cut through the table, or worse side rail of the table.

I did. I have marks for 3/4" - 1/2" and 1/4"

i dont have a chart but i did put a mark beside the 6mm ,12mm, 18mm cutting thicknesses. (material thickness +rail+a bit)
works fairly good

I clearly remember that some members in the past mentioned that they did this. If you do a search on this forum with the right words. you might find it, if you're lucky. Things are hard to find sometimes. But it surely has been done.

Here is a start:

    Ply      Rail      bit      setting
  6mm + 5mm + 2mm = 13mm
12mm + 5mm + 2mm = 19mm
18mm + 5mm + 2mm = 25mm

This is what I use. It is written on 1/2 of a business card and taped in place.

You may want to adjust it by 1-2 mm depending on personal preference. In other words, verify before using it and complaining to me.  [big grin]

Alex, you were very close, it was someone and you know who that is. [wink]

Here is a good way to go. Calculate your conversions for your favorite thicknesses of materials. Enter this data on your computer in a chart. Now print this chart in black onto the CLEAR self adhesive label stock that can be purchased at local office supply house. Adhere to the blade cover where it will be easy to see and handy for future reference!

Ah, I knew it was someone, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. Someone himself.  [big grin]

Yeah like that. Forgive me it was five in the morning and I did not see the very well done label. And of course in Festool green!!!
