Yeah but you are constantly adjusting it for L or R waste. Pull the guard up and sight the edge of the blade.

@masarum: 0 clearance inserts have their place but they sure inhibit dust collection from below. I put one in when I need it and use an open insert for the most of the time. Don't need a 0 clearance to cut MDF (maximum dust factor).

I want that cyclone sucking hard enough to suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. (—Willie Nelson)

They come pretty close in the standard MS insert but have to allow for bevel cuts. So you keep a 0C close by for 'that' cut.
