Yes, that is the FS marking by the arrow.

Doesn't that mean then by the look of the pic without the guide rail it's hitting 66mm or so DOC allowing for the 5mm FS?

Makita make a 170mm blade. Not sure if it will fit inside the ts60 saw or fits the arbour etc. Check before buying. But that will give you 1mm more depth of cut if it does fit.

It looks like it's already exceeding the max 62mm DOC the op was concerned it wasn't reaching, by 4mm judging by the pic.
The videos in their official show the fs mark on 62mm. I wonder if that's just poor quality control from their part and if I should ask for a replacement.

@Theucroix That actually looks like a parallax error to me from then screengrabs. Could be on the 61mm or the 62mm mark, but given the down angle of the camera I'm putting money it's on the 61mm mark.
Aren't these two surfaces in the same plane?
A parallax error would only occur if they were in different planes.

The screengrab is from a side angle looking down, so unless you had a clear shot perpendicular to the scale it would be impossible to know the exact marking it's aligned with.
If anything, the FS mark in the shot appears to be at the 61.5mm mark, which can't be right surely?
Angle doesn't matter if the scale and the arrow is in the same plane. If you don't believe me, please test it out, so we don't have to spend time on this.
So I repeat my question: Aren't the two surfaces in the same plane?

unless you shave off the bottom of your knob i don't see how you can get it lower. maybe the scale is printed off?
What is the actual measured depth of cut? there's also the adjustment knob maybe you can get it to 62 but it looks like it will always max out on 61 as printed

If I measured correctly, 66mm (no rail) with the micro adjustment all down, so it won't go further than this. I guess that can't be considered a problem, since the max depth announced is indeed 62mm without track. Twould just be a plus if it could reach 67. What I really wondered is what other TS60 owner see on theirs. Or if my saw is faulty for not going all the way down to 62mm with the rail on.

But the max without rail specified is 62mm which you're already exceeding by an additional 4mm, which means you're also exceeding the 57mm max with rail by 4mm?
The depth stop is physically unable to go lower, but if you really wanted that extra 1mm to bring it to 67mm without the track, you could just sand the bottom edge of the depth stop a little where it rests against the frame to allow it to go that little bit more.

what's it like on the opposite end of the scale? like you calibrate to 61 bottom is the top 0 at -1 then? could just be off
