I've made throat plates from plywood by cutting them to fit and then
raising the blade to cut a slot.

It may be worth knowing that there have been reports of unsecured plates
being lifted as the blade cuts and then ejected into the face of the
operator.

Park the fence over the plate just to the side of the blade
and raise away. Even then, stoop down to place yourself
lower than the saw top and slightly to the side. Haven't
had a plate thrown yet, but why take a gamble?
