If you are doing a run of parts and use a stop block, butting your stock up to it each time before cutting, you can get very repeatable performance, and by measuring a part and adjusting the stop block, dial it in.

If there is a way to get 5 thou on a first cut though, especially on lengths exceeding my cheaper 8" calipers, I'd be all ears :0
