I've been coming across this zero clearance tape being ideal for clean cuts and all that marketing mumbo jambo. Is it really worth it or it's just all show no go?
 
You might want to try it bec it helps! it works by giving your wood full support right where the blade cuts, which stops those annoying little splinters and tear-out on your cuts especially on miter saws or with track saws.

Definitely not a permanent solution like a solid zero-clearance insert for a table saw, but for a quick setup and super clean cuts, it's worth trying out!
 
Zero clearance tape actually helps reduce tear-out, especially on plywood or melamine, it's not just hype, but why not try a strip first before committing to a full pack?

Agreed. Better get money wasted on a strip if it doesn't work for you rather than a full thing.
