Anybody know where Norm got his? It would be so convenient to simply
put in a new wood strip rather than forming an entire new insert.

simple enough to make your own. I made mine out of a piece of 1/2 inch
UHMW with a sliding dovetail slot to hold 1/4 tempered hardboard
inserts. works great

I cut mine out of Lexan. I stack 4 to 6 sheets together, so I only
have to cut once. Works great

Looks nice Tom.

Could you show us and end view? I would like to see that dovetail slot.

Also, how do you cut that dovetail slot? And how do you cut the edges on
the hardboard?

Thanks Tom
They look good

I'll give it a try. I'm going to have to get a decent digital camera.
The one I have (actually SWMBO's) is a freebie that she got as a
company "recognition" award. Doesn't do close up views very well.
She's been making noises about buying a good one. I've been
encouraging her to do so, but she hasn't pulled the trigger yet. She
pinches pennies worse than I do.

Also, how do you cut that dovetail slot? And how do you cut the edges on
the hardboard?

Routed the slot in the UHMW with a dovetail bit, ripped the hardboard
blanks to size with the saw blade tilted to the matching angle,
inserted then in the UHMW base and used an edge trimming bit to rout
the profile to match the base.. Also had to rout out a clearance area
on the bottom of the base to accommodate the saw's arbor flanges when
the blade is at full elevation. I'll try to get some pictures of the
bottom as well.

Drilled and tapped for set screws for height adjustment and leveling,
but found they weren't needed. The UHMW blank was exactly the right
thickness to be level with the table top without any adjustment
needed. Sometimes things just work out right - Not often, but
sometimes. BTW, the saw is a JTAS-10XL, Jet left tilt cabinet saw.
