FastCap Zero Clearance Tape Strips Review

Tuan thing is just amazing. This has closed the gap on my table saw to do two important things. Keeps 90% of the dust in the saw so it gets into my dust collection system and allows for more precise cuts, great!

I've used this on my DeWalt DWS780 miter saw and it's perfect! My saw now has an accurate line of where the blade will end, making it a lot easier to quickly determine where to place the work piece, and there's a lot less sawdust at that point. The addition of 5 strips in the pack is nice too; I plan on adding one to my table saw next time I use it.

Good, low-cost solution for zero-cut use on my circular table saw. Although it is called "tape", it is quite stiff once applied. Much tougher than regular tape. I wish it was a bit wider to cover the full width of the existing notch board, but it seems to work fine. A tip: After you've applied the tape to the cutting board, sprinkle some talcum powder on the exposed, sticky underside. This will cover the "stickiness" without interference.

I really wanted to like this product, but once I received it I quickly realized that when I have this large piece of tape on my table saw, it's big enough to catch every piece of wood I try to slide across and cut it, rendering it 100% useless! Great idea in theory, but pretty stupid in execution! They could have at least narrowed one side of the belt to allow the wood to slide across the belt but that doesn't happen and the belt is quite thick and it definitely stopped every piece of wood I…

Before I found it. I used masking tape which helped a little but was too flexible. These strips provide enough stiffness and adhesion to significantly reduce tearing. With five in a pack, this is going to take a long time. With this tape and some fine tuning of my miter saw I can achieve 90% accuracy and quality on a table saw and sled. Some reviewers complained that the sharp edges and thickness made it difficult for them to slide across the table saw. Well, it's not made for a table saw, and…

I saw this and frankly if it hadn't been made by FastCap they probably would have given up. Since this was FastCap and I'm writing this review, you can probably guess the rest. As they entered, the color of the strips struck me as a bit off-putting and clearly didn't match the miter saw, but I kept going. Cleaned the miter saw, grabbed his head and vacuumed under the cut plate. Once in place it was easy to style and lay out square and flat with ease - still not thinking about color - but I keep

Great concept. The only real issue I had (which was the deciding factor) was the thickness of the strap. had to use 2 other pieces of tape to create a 3 point system (1 on the blade and 1 on each end of my saw table) to soften the slight tilt created by the thickness of the tape on the blade. If I have to use 3 pieces of tape to set up a zero gap makeshift panel I can just buy/make a zero gap fit - which I wanted to avoid from the start no problem for you then I found that the tape has good…

There is no reason not to love this product. It's easy to install. I put this on my DeWalt miter saw and DeWalt table saw. I will respond to a complaint others have made about project parts catching on the tongue when sliding. Answer: Maybe? I will explain. I trimmed mine both vertically and horizontally and then made another cut to bypass my quick release on the table saw. After that I took a razor blade and made my own bevel along the front edge of the tongue. It took me a few minutes to do…

I don't actually do reviews because I go to the store too much! I would like a piece of tape that is 1 micron thick and has the rigidity of a custom insert with no gap. BUT I ALSO WANT TO BECOME A UNICORN. It doesn't exist folks, without thickness there is no strength! Now that you know that, YOU HAVE 2 OPTIONS. 1. Check if your saw attachments are height adjustable and adjust the height according to the thickness of the band.2. Use more tape to create different surfaces. My Festool (the roller
