sounds good to me ;-)

I can see the argument about having the blade 1/16" above the stock
and more of the force being horizontal rather than vertical. Makes
sense. The cutting would seem to be occuring at a different angle
than if the blade was 1/2" or more above. I've seen WW show demos
where they lift the blade a bit; to presumably get a better cut.
Seems to me we have an interesting theory on our hands. Cut quality
vs safety vs dust expelsion.
