Just set it up right so you force everyone to use it right.

Also I really dislike JET. It starts out fine and becomes a huge hassle to maintain.
Could you add some detail on how you get those tolerances? Is that with the chop saw setup you posted on the previous page? Are you using any DRO to get that tolerance?
