Zero-Clearance

Insert

Azero-clearance insert can be made for the saw in about 30 minutes, and must be made of 3⁄4" furniture quality plywood or a hardwood. (We rec- ommend making at least 6–12 while you are going through the process, so you have plenty on hand for varying blade widths, heights, or angles.

Azero-clearance insert is required if you want to install a dado blade. When a dado blade is installed, the scoring blade and riving knife are removed—as neither will properly perform their intended function.

If you plan to use a standard blade with a zero- clearance insert, additional modifications will need to be made in order to install the scoring blade and riving knife.

If you must use this saw to cut the dimen-
sions of the zero-clearance insert you will
fabricate in these instructions, make sure
you DO NOT make any cuts while the
included table insert is removed. THIS IS
DANGEROUS. You must re-install the table
insert, reassemble all saw components, and
remove all tools before cutting.

To make a zero-clearance table insert, do

components removed.

4.Remove the table insert installed on the saw.

5.Cut the new table insert to the exact length of the included table insert and 11⁄16" wide.

6.Use the included table insert as a template, as shown in Figure 93, to mark the mounting holes on the new table insert. (Clamping the pieces together while you do this will allow you to ensure the hole spacing is exact.)

in new insert.

7.Use the 7⁄32" drill bit to drill holes completely through the new table insert.

8.Install the 13⁄32" drill bit and use the included table insert as a guide to set the depth stop on your drill press to countersink the holes.
