Reason you place your part front of center in your abrasive cutoff saw, is to keep the blade from jumping and to dig into the material when you begin the cut and to also improves cut quality.
When figuring out where to place your part in your abrasive cutoff saw first place you have to start is placing your part front of center (center being right down smack dab where the saw spindle). It doesn’t take that much roughly .25″ from center. You can do that a couple of different ways A) adjust the saw fence placement or B) Place spacer shims against the fence then place your part against those shims then lock your part. Option A is trickier and will take more time because you have square up the fence again after the adjustment. So Option B would be the best in most cases and the simplest.
Lastly you have to take into consideration the size of the parts that your looking to cut on your cutoff saw. Smaller the part the larger the spacer will need to be to bring the part front of center.
