My kana is loosing it's flatness , got any tips?

[@craftbyhirotoyamazaki]

I'm not sure what kana is, but what part of your miter saw is no longer flat?

[@Gungho1a]

Nice work, sir. One question...would you shave the lower edge of the zero-clearance insert to allow for bevel cuts? That would widen the gap and defeat the purpose though?

[@craftbyhirotoyamazaki]

Hi I am Hiroto. Hidden Gunman, thanks for your comment! If you do a bevel cut, the inside of the insert will be cut at an angle and the width will be slightly wider. But it will almost never cause the zero-clearance insert you made to lose its functionality.

[@WhiskeyTangoFoxtraught]

Thanks for posting, reminds me of when I was stationed in Misawa, I’m considering getting this saw used. Still recommend?
