So I have one of the Infinity Tools / Jack Colliflower Sawstop Aluminum ZCIs (LINK or LINK) and so far it has been awesome. However this weekend I went to cut a white insert for a 45 degree cut only to find out that the ZCI doesnt fit all the way in the slot in the table even with the blade lowered all the way down when in the 45 degree angle. You can see what I mean here:

So I was not able to make the clearance cut. A suggestion was made to make the initial cut with a smaller blade but since I only own 10" blades that isnt really an option. I do however own an 8" dado stack and thought: well what about using one of the end blades from the dado stack to make the initial cut. I guess I would have to have the dado brake installed to do such a thing, but I wondered if using a single dado stack end blade by itself would be any cause for concern regarding safety. I did consider the option of buying an 8" blade just for initially cutting any angle into these white inserts in the future, but an 8" Forrest WW2 is another $100+ and for a blade I'd only use a few times I just didnt want to go that route.
I have been working with the manufacturer (Jack Colliflower) on this issue and as always he has been extremely responsive, but I wanted to present this question to the 'creek and see what you guys thought.
