What I am finding in the specs is that Ridgid, Dewalt, Delta and many others state that they can only go down to 5/16. Just because the specs say so, does not mean the machine is not capable of going lower. I have even looked at higher price points, and they also state 5/16. I have seen these same machines go down to 1/8 with no problem. Also, lengthwise, I've seen shorter that 12 inches go through without snipe. The dewalt is up to DW735 now, but the specs on line do not list the minimums. I just wanted to know what your machines will do versus what they say they will do.
