For those of you reading this thread, I have a question in regard to zero
clearance inserts. The table saw I have is a 35 year old Rockwell Beaver
34050. Cutting the outline of an insert is no problem, but I'm a little
stumped on a workable method to properly raise the insert flush with table
saw top. The metal insert I have has adjustable Allen screws which don't
seem all that workable in a home made wooden zero clearance insert.

How do you raise your insert?


I took 9/16" cedar (fence pickets) and planed/sanded it to the thickness I
needed (about 1/2"). No raising needed.
