I believe that gap you see is an illusion because of the poor lighting/shadows. ?The corner edges of the tenoning plate are chamfered, and it is also relieved at both ends on the underside by about 0.028-inches or ~0.7mm.?
I just checked my slider to be sure - the slider is 0.006-inches above the cast iron top which is ~0.15mm. ?

David,
Thank you for your additional comments and helpful hints. Yes, my sliding table stays coplanar for the section of travel I use when tenoning. It is a short slider. I would think twice to start adjusting my saw's slider that is 3.2 meters and has 8 bolts (as in your video). Far more involved and complex.?
Regarding the tenoning plate - in the flicker link you sent there is a photo from the side of your setup (attaching a slightly zoomed in copy). In this photo your height gap between the tenoning plate and the cast iron top is only 0.15mm? The plate seems to float quite a bit above the cast iron or is the shadow misleading?
