    zero clearance isn't flat!

    I've had my bt3000 for 2 years - and just noticed tonight --- that my zero clearance insert is actually a tiny bit higher than the saw's surface.

    Guessing this has been ranted about before - but it does help explain why I'm not getting perfect 90 degree cuts!

      I've noticed mine is actually lower than the top.

          Most of them I heard of were too low.
          Shimmed mine up with self-stick metallic return address labels cut into strips.

          If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
