Hi folks,
I was hoping if possible, someone could explain to me what is meant when people talk about setting up the saw table with "Zero tolerance" please. Also should I be doing it?
Many thanks

Hi, Gary -
What I think you are referring to is a "Zero Clearance" set up. It is where you add something to your table to keep the hole that the blade goes through as small as possible so you have as much support as possible for your piece you are cutting. This is important for intricate cutting.
I have an article about it on my website here:

I hope this helps you.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Sheila

I am glad it helped! And I never intended to make you feel foolish! I was just funning with you.
There are so many new terms and techniques to learn when venturing into a new hobby. I know I can speak for us all here when I say "WELCOME!"
