Fully extended, the blade is protruding maybe 3mm. I think I keep it around 2mm, so not much higher than 1mm. Lazy on my part to just let it dig a little deeper 'in case' the wood is cupped.
from Sam:
...on newer machines the throat plate sometimes needs a little tweaking in the opening. You should lower it all the way first then tilt, then raise it up with the motor off to see if it binds on the throat plate. If it does (usually just a little bit) you can turn on the machine and slowly raise the scorer so that it trims the aluminum to create the space it needs. Or you can take a file to it.
Not sure I want to use my Forest blade to trim the aluminum.
It looks like the belt replacement is a multi-hour PITA, removing several panels, the blade and blade shroud,... so ask me in a year if I have actually replaced it yet 
.
Easy enough to order the part though.
