Circular Saw Crosscut Jig Depth

[ghr]

I'm thinking of making a jig like combined-crosscut-trim-slot-jig-long-but-lots-of-pics-t32019.html.

Are there any downsides to making the jig as tall as the blade allows (meaning the blade would be fully extended, even for cutting thin wood)?

Cheers.

The taller the jog, the thinner the wood you can cut is. so if you have to fully extend to cut 1/4" wood, you could not cut 3/4" stock.
