| Adam | Zero Clearance Inserts February 28th, 2006 10:56 AM February 28, 2006 Zero Clearance Inserts Zero clearance inserts are designed to be "custom-fitted" to one blade on the table saw. This is accomplished by lowering the blade below the table, putting a new insert in the table saw insert opening and with the insert being held down (either its own mounting hardware or wooden bars straddling the insert) the blade is slowly raised, creating a "zero-clearance" insert. The inserts are commonly made of either plastic or wood. In theory, each saw blade should have its own insert. And, doing a bevel cut destroys your inserts zero clearance. A Sharpie permanent pen can mark the underside of your insert and non-wearing area of its matching saw blade, to avoid mixing up the various zero-clearance inserts you own. With an existing table saw insert and a "pattern" router bit, you can make your OWN zero-clearance insert(s). There are several articles in various woodworking magazines describing the complete process in more detail. My local plastic shop, called TAP Plastics, would make a plastic (surprise) insert for around fifteen to twenty bucks. I would suggest this home-grown solution, rather than spending your valuable time "chasing-down" a manufacturer's possible product. |
| Pat |  zero clearance insert for table sawNovember 12th, 2006 01:47 PM This late, but maybe it will help. I tried to find your saw on the Sears website - no such model number listed for 315228390. Does your saw have the pain in the butt ridges at the front and rear of each miter slot? If so, I found zero plate inserts in Novemeber 2005, and long rails for those slots on the Tradesman-Rexon site who make the Craftsman saws for Sears. Maybe they will be able to help you with what you need. Customer Service Phone: (860) 654-1761, ext. 221 GOOD LUCK! Pat |
