FastCap Zero Clearance Tape - Made from Durable PVC - 2inch Width x 16inch Length, 5 Yellow Strips - 05432

A must have for anyone using a mitre saw!The tape is a good thickness, must trim with a knife or scissors, it comes with extras but I’m still on the first strip.It is easy to apply. Wipe down the area thoroughly using something like vinegar to remove any residue.Dry thoroughly. Line up the tape along the entire length of the cutting zone , put in place and press firmly working out any air bubbles.Your first cut will open up the zero clearance tape.I next added a zero clearance guide using sacrificial wood.Kick backs can be bad. Proper safety precautions can help protect the user.

This zero clearance products are stiffer than expected. Once the saw blade is raised through the product the user will have a nice surface from wood to slide across. Seems to be durable, I've been using the same one for over a year. Would buy again.

This product does its job for tearout prevention, but the product’s thickness will move the cut slightly off from 90 deg. If I’m doing something to really close tolerance, I attach a small piece of the tape elsewhere on the board to keep it perfectly perpendicular to the blade.

Taped over my throat plate on my Skil miter saw. Cut back the dust and debris inside the throat by more than 90%. Seems durable. Been using now for several months with no degradation.

A generous supply if you cut it to fit your application. Great stuff, works very well. You may have to feather the leading edge, because the tape is about .008" thick.

It fit the need

For a low price, Fastcap's Zero clearance tape makes a huge improvement in tear out. Cutting Baltic Birch on my table saw and miter saw was causing noticeable edge chipping. While the zero clearance tape hasn't completely eliminated the problem, 90% of the chipping is gone, and I suspect a new saw blade will fix the rest. Additionally, small strips of ripped stock no longer fall into the saw and clog the vacuum. The quality of the tape is excellent and simple to apply on a table or miter saw. There's a safety aspect to this product as well. You are no longer tempted to put your hands near the blade to remove a thin strip wedged between the blade and throat plate. The adhesive is aggressive, take a minute to clean the throat plate and then carefully apply the tape. Once adhered to the throat plate it's difficult to reposition. I received enough zero clearance tape to cover my miter and table saw multiple times. Great product.

Works great on miter saw.
