Great video! More useful info in 0:58' than minutes of common prattle and monetization interruptions.

Using guide slot to ascertain alignment is nearly 100% reliable, if the blade alignment correlates. Some 'lesser' machines don't provide that adjustment; correction would be tedious.
As the video shows, tactile verification is good, improve that with a slip of paper between surface/s/ and finger. It minimizes the different textures involved. A feeler leaf of minimal thickness also gives terrific results.

Most milling machine users can recognize a making a pair of fixture keys, or using adjustable parallels, would achieve near perfection to set rip fence. This will be imperative, in attempt of ~250' of French cleat cabinet hanger (uhhh no; not continuous), but hopefully this fall.
