My advice for new TS 55/75 owners

I guess I will be making these cabinets 23 3/4" deep  :-[

Can you add 1/4" banding to save your 24"?

If I write down 13/16" or 15/16" I sometimes see 3/16" or 5/16", my mind drops the "1" and the result isn't pretty . . .

Why metric is better!  [big grin]

+1  [wink]

I don't know about yours, but the metric I use also has the "1", and dropping it by mistake cab be just as ugly.  [smile]

metric could be worse for that as it is 100mm you use instead of 1". 4"out is a lot [scared]

The point is it's not as prone to misreading 21mm instead of 13/16" or 24mm instead of 15/16".  [wink]

A fairer comparison would be reading 5/16 instead of 15/16, and reading 5mm instead of 15mm. In my opinion, both are just as easy to do.

As they say: Measure twice and cut once.  [wink]

Similar to the average typist that makes an error every 300 keystrokes, the fewer digits the fewer errors.

Yep, and the best way to never make a mistake is to never do anything.  [smile]

That explains so much...  [big grin]

Happy to oblige.  [smile]

And if you are using a MFT in combination with the TS saw, move the end of the MFT fence away from the guide rail edge when the saw is tilted at an angle.
