The large 12 ¾”-long by 2 ¾”-tall extruded fence can be positioned closer to or farther from the blade by releasing the two finger-operated levers. This allows setting the miter fence at the optimum distance from the blade at all cutting angles for maximum accuracy and safety.
Slots in the face and top edge of the miter gauge fence accept hex head fasteners to make attaching your custom auxiliary faces or shop-made jigs easy and very secure.

Throat Inserts
In addition to the standard throat insert shipped with the POWERMATIC PM3000, we offer a composite zero clearance insert (#1791080) and a metal dado insert (#1791081). The dado insert is sized to accept up to 12”-diameter multi-plate stacked dado sets at their full 13/16” width.
Like the standard insert, the dado version also features the spring-loaded balls that keep it snug in the opening. The zero clearance insert has adjuster screws that allow you to fine-tune its fit in the opening.
Zero-clearance and dado inserts (left) are available as options. Note that the zero-clearance insert is pre-cut for the splitter assembly. The user simply cuts the blade slot before use.
The standard and zero clearance inserts are slotted for use with the splitter and guard assembly installed.
