So I just recieved and installed my zero clearance insert from Grizzly
for my 1023S. I've never used one of these inserts and am concerned.

With the normal insert, when the saw is on, the only noise I hear is
the humming of the motor until I feed the saw some wood. However, with
the zero clearance insert in place and the saw running, I hear the
whining of the blade as it spins, making contact with the insert. Is
this normal? If so, won't this generate enough heat to scorch the
blade eventually?

Thanks.

It shouldn't. the whine is due to the closeness of the blade to the
insert. I've never ruined a blade running it in a ZCI.
