I'm not sure if this is something I'd never noticed until now but when the fence is down all the way, the angle can't be set to 0. Seen below.

The protractor isn't cut flush with the fence, which in this position is down all the way, so there is an angle offset.
But if you adjust the fence height to be parallel with the protractor feet, you can set the angle to 0. Seen below.

This just looks odd to me since I'm use to seeing the fence bottom out, making contact with the base plate as in the first picture. This needs to happen during a bevel plunge (https://youtu.be/CvI8P2dUY2I @18:48) but I don't remember if it needs to happen for a typical 90 deg corner butt-joint domino setup. The fence doesn't move the center of the bit, which is always 10 mm from the base (might vary depending on bit diam), so I'm guessing it doesn't really matter.
Does yours do something similar?
