When you adjust the tool, the gear teeth engage, locking the two halves together at perfect 1 \/32\" (or 1mm) steps…get it close and the rack will do the rest. For instance, if you need to set a dado blade for a 15\/32\" depth of cut, just move the sliding block up until you’re just short of a half inch. Lock the knob and you’ll see that the gears mesh perfectly at 15\/32\" as the knob tightens.  If you prefer to work in metric measurements, just take the gear racks off, flip them over and now the rack will lock at perfect 1mm intervals. It’s great if you work in metric all the time…it’s even better if you don’t!
