Just measured my 3 saws per photo with a stack if feeler gauges between the pivot shaft (7.5mm radius) and the base (in the middle)? and found:
Oldest saw 5.8+7.5 =13.3mm
Yr2000 saw 8 +7.5 + 15.5mm
2020 saw 7.6 +7.5 = 15.1mm
Appears your saw has pivot shaft holes bored higher in the base ears, though that could be just the difference of HF castings from mine.
Can someone else with a less than 5yo HF saw that does complete its cuts, repeat this measurement on their saw to let Both Marks know whether their saws are just normal HF or if they've been bored too high (bored too high and youd expect it not to complete the cut) - jv??
