I added that option... I don't think you can go back and change your vote, tho
Lowering the blade and unplugging, good safety practice!

How high do you set your table saw blade?

As I was taught, way back in my High School woodshop class (1960), that on a table saw, you always set the blade so the bottom of the blade gullet is at the top edge of the stock you're cutting. That ensures that the cut is clearly through the wood, and gives maximum advantage to the blade teeth to properly shear the surface. And, when you are through with the project, you lower the blade below the table, even with the blade guard on. I then un-plug it.

I leave the bottom of the gullet just showing above the workpiece, and I use a ZCTP.Leave a comment:

I like the top of the blade not too low... that way the top is cutting with some downwards force instead of straight back to wards the direction of

How high above the workpiece do you set the table saw blade height? Through cuts, obviously.
