Looks like the manufacturer is packing it in. Wish I'd bought one
when Grizzly was selling them for around $60.
Personally, I plan to make my own...
1. Make a regular zero clearance insert from mel board
2. rout a 1/8" +- deep groove of appropriate width with a dovetail bit
3. rip out strips of tempered masonite to fit groove
I'd rather have a nice aluminum insert but what the hey...
At $60, that is why they are packing it in. For that kind of money I can
make at least 120 of them from MDF. It would be a nice item if it sold
for $15 to $20 maybe. Making the inserts was just another opportunity to
do woodworking, IMO. I still have a half dozen from when I made the first
batch.
OTOH, you can buy the business for $70,000 and give yourself a discount on
the ones for home use.
