SO....you have positive 3 on the right and negative 3 on the

No, it doesn't. Think about it.

CW's right. If you had a sled which was 0.003 off and you cut both
sides of a panel with it without flipping it, it would be 0.006 off.

But you're referencing the fence on your saw BUT the splitter holds
the board/panel inline. It might bind and burn just a wee bit on the
second cut, but there should be no 0.006" difference.

For a while, I had a zero-insert that I cut a short slot into in-line
with the blade and the same thickness of the blade. I took a thin piece
of cherry and glued it into the slot. This made for a very nice
splitter, until I snapped off the cherry one day by sliding a board
across it.

I would be interested in hearing of any improvements to this technique.

...in steel. I snapped off a plastic one too.


That looks interesting. This is steel? It looks like plastic. Never
thought of making the splitter part be removable. Thanks! Harvey
