Some of the YouTube videos I've looked at make it seem quite normal that you always set the blade to cut a few mm into the table top. I can't see that referenced in the manual. The idea is that the groove gives you splinter free cuts on the bottom surface of the material. I've put some scrap pieces under the material and cutting MDF is no problem but that's to be sort of expected. Do other MFT3 users deliberately cut into the table top? There is another YouTube video that shows how to refresh the groove by filling it in with some sort of resin and then scraping off the excess and then cut a new groove. I don't know if I'm reducing the quality of my cuts by not cutting into the top as a standard part of the cutting process. Any comments?
