Default vertical bandsaw question

I took Mike's advice and just cut a slot in it with the saw .. it
doesn't look perfect but it works just fine. Important thing is now
I have a working vertical bandsaw again!

I have only used a BS for wood, but I tend to agree. The thing will
undoubtedly get a bing or two from a blade within a very short time.
Unless you cut very thin sheet, the tolerance of the insert slot is
not that critical.

Anyway, this thing came without the little insert that goes in the
hole in the table. It isn't too hard to figure out how to make the
part that goes in there, but I'm wondering about the slot.


Every one of them that I've seen was all beat up from contour cuts anyway.
Undoubtedly the easiest way to cut it would be to just use the bandsaw to
cut the slot.
