As the blade is lowered the rear undergoes a .005 inch shift to the
right. So, if perfectly aligned at almost max blade height the blade
will go .005 out of parallel as it is lowered to about 1 inch. I've
repeated this a hundred times and have been sure not to fully raise it
to the stops when taking the high measurement. Also did the quick test
on the tie bars using flat glass pane and they are not perfect.


Give a man a micrometer and he'll find a way to trouble himself with it.

Odds on your blade flexes that much in the kerf when actually cutting, or
the piece slips that much as you try to hold it. With probably 75% of cuts
at 1 1/4 blade exposure, set it and forget it.
