    Square cut off by .15mm

    I think I know the answer to this but I was just wondering what you guys would do. I set up my MFT/3 and when I do the 5 cut check, the last cut is 17.6mm on the far end and 17mm on the near end. Dividing that by 4 gives me out of square by .15mm or 0.01" on a 14" cut. Would any of you try to tweak that closer or would you leave it as is?

    Easily that much error in your measurements. Unless you're dial indicating on granite.
    Don't mess with it, be happy, don't worry.

    I can't even see those increments on my Lufkin 6' folding ruler. Not even on the brass depth slide out.

    You're at 1.5 times the thickness of a human hair (0.1mm).

    saw dust on the fence will cause more than that.

    I don't know at a mft/3 is, maybe whatever it is isn't capable of big cuts so it doesn't matter but I would. That's a lot for just 14". Extrapolate that out over 60" and you're talking almost a 1/16".

    If it were off that amount in 5' I'd say don't sweat it, it's inconsequentially off
