jim C is correct. I zero out the gauge when it’s sitting on the table. Then stick it to the blade. The same button is used to switch it off as to zero it. So if I hold down the zero button for long it switches off. So I have to do a quick zeroing.

I’ve tightened the hell out of the nut that secures the blade to the saw. And yes, the arbor has washers (one on each side of the blade).

Has anyone heard of cold temperatures affecting the Wixey? I’d read somewhere that somebody said that might be an issue.

Thanks.
