And I think I know the answers, too!
1. I am doing a ZCTP for a thin-kerf blade. I need to 'break the ice' on this first. I don't have a 7 1/4" thin kerf blade. How do I do this? I surmise I just use the smaller blade and make a small cut into the zctp, just enough to allow the 10" blade under and complete the cut.
2. With my Forrest WWII thin kerf, I bought a dampener plate. When I used this combo with my existing (1/8") zctp, i realized when I had trouble lifting the blade, that it was hanging up, then realized it was the extra plate that was hanging it up. I surmise that I can only use this combo for very low blade heights; for higher heights, I have to take the dampener off, which really makes it kinda useless, since it is for the higher heights that you would want moer stability in the blade.
