Ken Massingale,
The 1/8” spacing of the Sliding Glide Plate is Maxxam spacing.
The machine uses this plate to measure the board for a cutout.
If you have a spacing more than 1/8”, and if the tracking of the sand paper drive belt is perfect. It may carve the board OK, if you are not using the cutout function.
I always check my carving board for binding when I install a board.
Using Designer Version 1.187
