Not in the case of Dewalt 718 as the base has a plastic insert and turns
as you change the miter angle so there's no chance of hitting a metal
base.

on page 9, column 3 refers to it as a "grooving stop" whose purpose is to
limit the depth of a groove. Multiple grooves stopped at the same depth
provide a dado.

....yah, I own the first iteration of that saw and it's still working
well after, oh, a dozen years? You guys are sure geeking the heck out
of this topic...it's really very simple and just as Leon, and myself,
have described.

Now, let's get something done, eh?
