Frequently Asked Questions

Will an insert made for one saw fit a similar model from the same brand?

Not necessarily. Each insert is CNC cut to fit the saw or saws named on its product page, so check that your model appears there before you order. For example, our SawStop PCS, ICS and CNS insert does not fit the SawStop Jobsite PRO, which has its own insert. If your saw is not listed, contact us with the model number and the dimensions of your factory plate.

What is the difference between the Standard and Dado insert?

The Standard insert has a slot for the riving knife and is meant for a regular table saw blade. The Dado insert has no riving knife slot because it is designed to be used with a dado stack. Our Dewalt 12″ sliding miter saw insert is not offered in a Dado version.

Do the inserts come with the blade slot already cut?

No. All of our zero clearance inserts ship with the blade slot uncut so you can cut it to match your own blade kerf, and they work with both thin and full kerf blades. That applies to the Standard and Dado versions alike; on the Standard version only the riving knife slot comes already cut.

Do the inserts come with screws to level them with the table?

Yes, most of our table saw inserts include stainless off-set screws so you can adjust the insert height to match your saw’s table.

What are the inserts made of?

Our table saw inserts are CNC cut from 1/2″ (12.7 mm) MDF. The Dewalt 12″ sliding miter saw insert is offered in MDF or acrylic and is CNC and laser cut. We publish CAD drawings with the dimensions for most of our zero clearance inserts.

    This may sound strange. I ordered the DeWalt plate by mistake. My first TS was a beat up old model DeWalt I found on line. I bought it and got it working. It was on my mind when I was ordering the correct plate for my Skil 8 1/4″ TS, which is a beautiful blank ( a dado insert), and is now my thin kerf throat using the microjig metal splitter. I also bought the full kerf version. They all work extremely well.
    I suggest your advertising your dado (blank) plates as perfect for microjig thin and full kerf blades. My Skil TS and other small TS models do not have OEM riving knives for thin kerf blades. So, to use thin kerf blades, one must find a riving knife alternative, the microjig product, teamed with your fantastic insert products, is a great marketing notch for business.
    I’ll be back!!!

    Works perfectly as intended and well made. The only potential drawback is dust collection will be slightly reduced.

    Very good product. Just needed adjustment on left underside, and especially back towards the riving knife because the fabric dust shroud interfered, along with a minor protuberance. Fortunately MDF carves like butter. Great fit after that, leveled up well with adjusting screws.

    A well made “must have” on this saw to close up that throat opening for safety, accuracy of parts and dust collection. Considering the time it would take to make one with leveling screws it was a “no brainer” to buy one here. I use my saw on jobsites in Florida, so it would be awesome if Toolcurve offered one of these made of plastic so when my saw gets rained on my insert doesn’t get ruined. Please offer a plastic one.
