We're going to have to start calling you "TubalG". 
Great video, even I can follow it.
I have one question though, (my ignorance not a deficiency of the vid) and that is how one "zeros" the depth of the cutter. You've already gotten the sides square. Now you put the piece back in the vise to cut it down to size (measures at 1.095" and you want it at 1.000"). How do you set the cutter/"Z axis" (I'm assuming the knee instead of the quill) so that it's at zero for the 1.095" piece?
Hope that made some kind of sense.
Thanks much,
