I did mine slightly different but with the same result.
I took some thin stock and ran into the blade without cutting off. Bring the
piece back without moving and you can mark both sides of the blade with one
cut.
Same result -- slightly different process to get both sides of the blade at
one time.

Howdy all... Pop always said the only dumb question is the one you
won't ask... What is the yellow plastic circle/plug for on the older
(possibly newer) C-man a0" contractor style table saws? The plug is
located in the table top right before the blade insert.

I didn't get a manual with my saw and I've wondered what it's there
for. I think it has "exact cut" or something like that on it. (I'm
working from memory and didn't feel like waiting till I got home to
post the question.. A. Because I'd probably forget -- again and/or B.
SWMBO or the youngins would keep me hoppin and I'd probably forget ---
again... ;-) )

Thanks...


It is used to indicate where you line of cut is. Use your miter gauge set
at 90 degrees and cut a small amount off the end of a board. With out
letting the board slip on the gauge, pull the board and gauge back until
the
board is covering 1/2 the yellow spot and use a pencil, fine point
permanent
marker, or utility knife to mark a line along the fresh cut edge of that
board. Repeat for the other side of the blade.

Use the line/lines on the yellow spot for reference to align your future
cuts.
