One day, while Paul was building some cabinets, he got an idea for a self-adhesive screw cap cover and the Fastcap was born. FastCap has grown exponentially and has expanded its products base from the Fastcap to a vast array of products and tools to accommodate the professional cabinet maker and woodworker needs. ## Features - Eliminates chipping and tearout and is a lifesaver on fine workpieces or delicate timber - Line up your marked boards with the exact line edge - Power source type: Hand Powered ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Adhesive Format | Tape | | Adhesive Location | one_side | | Adhesive Material | PVC | | Adhesive Side Count | 5 | | Asin | B07C68GTVK | | Brand Name | FastCap | | Color | Yellow | | Compatible Material | Plastic | | Configuration | 5 strips, 2" x 16", Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,872) 4.6 out of 5 stars | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00663807054326 | | Item Highlight | Precision PVC Overlay for Miter Saws, Eliminates Chip Out & Creates Exact Cut Line Reference, 05432 | | Item Resistance | not_water_resistant | | Item Weight | 0.27 g | | Manufacturer | FastCap | | Material Type | PE_(Polyethylene), PS_(Polystyrene) | | Model | SG_B07C68GTVK_US | | Number Of Items | 5 | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Other Special Features Of The Product | Eliminates chip out, Creates exact reference for line up, Durable PVC material | | Part Number | SG_B07C68GTVK_US | | Recommended Uses For Product | Indoor Woodworking | | Size Name | 5,1 x 40,6 cm | | Surface Recommendation | Glass, Metal, Plastic, Wood | | Tensile Strength | 40 pounds_per_inch | | Unit Count | 5 Count | | Upc | 663807054326 | | Warranty Description | no | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FastCap - **Color:** Yellow - **Material:** PE_(Polyethylene), PS_(Polystyrene) - **Number of Items:** 5 - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Indoor Woodworking ## Images ![FastCap Zero Clearance Tape - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51pyRQYgDFL.jpg) ![FastCap Zero Clearance Tape - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BY2G+kskL.jpg) ![FastCap Zero Clearance Tape - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dBUTlA6HL.jpg) ![FastCap Zero Clearance Tape - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vOlLfeweL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is this used for? The description does not say.** A: It's a stiff, heavy plastic tape used to create a "zero clearance" insert for a miter saw blade. Simply apply to your miter saw insert, then with the saw running, bring the blade down and cut thru the tape . Your kerf is now the exact same size as your blade. Works really well. Makes for more accurate cuts. Look at the illustrations in the produce description. **Q: Can this tape be used on a table saw for zero clearance?** A: Yes that’s what I used it for. You do have to cut out for the riving knife. **Q: Is this true? Read a review about the tape catching the item sliding across his table saw. Can’t you simply adjust the height of the insert?** A: The zero clearance tape does have depth, about 2mm, therefore, in theory, it will stick up slightly, enough to catch a board. But in practice I haven’t had any trouble with that. Also, yes, you can adjust the table saw’s insert plate, slightly lower to compensate for the added height. Again, I found it unnecessary. And as an aside, the tape does work well. I have it on all my saws, table, sliding, miter and chop. I also have found other uses for the tape, it has a very strong adhesive and I have used it to shim non saw related items that needed a few mm of shim. **Q: Does the same cut you make also work in the mitered angle positions? 15, 30, 45 degrees, etc.? Or do you have to lay down a new strip for each? thx** A: Yes it works in all positions. The adhesive is very strong and lasts a long time. I did all the baseboards in my house, cutting at different angles and the strip shows very little wear. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy install and economical device for mitre saw *by on Reviewed in the United States July 18, 2026* Needed a way to make my compound mitre more accurate. The most cost effective and easiest way was to install this product. All you have to do is peel the adhesive protective strip and attach it like a piece of thick tape. Then you simply operate your saw and it cuts in perfectly so that you now have a more precise cut. Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PERFECT LOW COST SOLUTION FOR ZERO CLEARANCE INSERTS!! *by on Reviewed in the United States January 13, 2025* I recently purchased zero clearance inserts made of MDF for my table saw, and it made a huge difference. So I wondered if they made something similar for miter saws, since I am always getting small pieces of wood wedged down in the gap. I came across this item by chance, and knew it was definitely worth a shot for the price! It came overnight, and I installed one of the strips immediately.The material is a thin styrene with a VHB tape on the back, and it holds amazingly well. I cleaned the factory insert with alcohol, and let it dry before installation. Checked for fitment and trimmed as needed, it was very easy to install. I saw a couple of reviews mentioning chipping during the first cut, so I put a piece of painters tape along the path of the blade, and SLOWLY brought it down to make the initial cut. Super smooth with no chipping!! Not only will it prevent pieces of debris from getting stuck in the great divide, it will also improve splintering on the bottom of the cut. I will see how it lasts over time, and update if needed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great but not long enough. *by on Reviewed in the United States June 10, 2026* This zero clearance tape is pretty good. I like the pvc type material it's made out of. It's very easy to install. I would recommend wiping your surface with alcohol first before applying the tape. My only concern is the tape does not fully cover the area of my dewalt saw. If it was a tad bit longer it would be perfect, hence why I removed one star. ## Frequently Bought Together - FastCap Zero Clearance Tape - Made from Durable PVC - 2inch Width x 16inch Length, 5 Yellow Strips - 05432 - FastCap PSSR-16 16 Foot Pro Carpenter Standard Reverse Measuring Tape - Fastcap PSSR-25 25-Foot ProCarpenter Lefty/Righty Standard Measuring Tape --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/70143274-fastcap-zero-clearance-tape](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/70143274-fastcap-zero-clearance-tape) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
