    Sled and zero clearance questions

    I have 2 different questions.

    1. I got my sled finished and was testing it for square, I use the 5 cut method with a 6 inch board.
    I measured it with my calipers in the inch mode and came up with .2835 on one end of the last cut and .2890 on the other. I then switched to fractions on the caliper and came up with 9/32 (.28125) on each end.
    So should I say that is good or do I need to work at getting it closer and just use the inches on the calipers?

    Some times these number just get all screwed up in my brain, that is I think I have one. My Dad always told me that when the Good Lord was passing out brains, I thought he said trains and said I had one.... and I do have a train.

    2. I made a zero clearance insert for the TS and put it in but it sure make a lot of noise when it is running. It is made out of Phenolic and I raised the blade thought it 3 or 4 times with no change. Do I need to file the opening just a little wider or is there something else that I have done wrong.


    Thanks....
