I've been prognosticating on purchasing the zero clearance insert. Now that I have, I'm glad. It hurts to be hit by a piece of wood that falls in that space of the open insert and gets kicked out by the blade. Better than the one I made from 1/4 inch hard board. My only regret is that I Purchased it too soon. Should have waited for the sale. Everybody should buy one.

Insert fit my saw fine. The leveling screws seem weak but work none the less. For those who seem to have difficulty cutting in the intial time, the safe way is to clamp a piece of stock over the insert before raising the blade.

The fit is excellent for my saw. The only problem I had was I couldn't drop my 10" blade far enough to allow the saw to start the initial cut. As a result, I used one of my dado blades to start the cut, then I switched to my 10" blade. The result was mostly a zero clearance insert (my dado blade had a slightly wider kerf than my 10" blade). Perhaps a slightly deeper inset could be used by the manufacturer and that would allow the insert to rest over the blade prior to the initial cut.

The Zero Clearance Insert makes precision cutting of small pieces a snap. Much better than my taping the over sized throat plate.

I was tired of cutting very narrow pieces of stock only to have them fall into the opening between my 'normal' insert and rip fence. Cutting the zero clearance insert took a little time (drive belt slipped and created burning smell that could have turned on house monitored smoke detector) but once done, I finally had a zero clearance insert that would allow me to cut any narrow piece of stock without worrying about it slipping into the the bottom of my dust collection bag. Good price and good saw table attachment.

I had to modify the insert. My Jet is an older model and I had to shorten the insert. No problem.

This was the best insert that I have purchased for my Jet contractor saw, it fit great and was very easy to adjust. I would recommend this to anyone that has the same kind of saw.
