Phenolic Table Saw Insert Kit

Make your own Zero Clearance throat plate and save! This Kit includes two phenolic plates for only a little more than the cost of one pre-cut plate! Just rout to the size you need with a Shear Cutting Flush Trim Bit (24740). Also works great for band saws, scroll saws, jigs and fences. Phenolic is extremely hard for optimum durability and provides friction-free sliding. It’s so hard, that traditional drill bits have a hard time getting through. No problem! Just use our exclusive Phenolic Countersink Drill Bit (34423) for the leveler holes. It is machined especially for phenolic, cuts quickly and won’t wander. Insert Kit includes two phenolic plates with 12 screws for leveling.

Phenolic plates measure 3-7/8" x 14" x 1/2" thick.

1) Submitted by Blake Dozier, from Whitakers, NC on 8/14/2012 Customer Rating: Great product! My first plate took some experimenting but is a pleasure to use. I made the second plate yesterday and solved the blade clearance problem. I simply routed a 3/16" slot on the underside of the plate deep enough to provide clearance for the blade and then raised the blade to cut the regular slot. I did use a tap and die for the leveling screws. No problem.

2) Submitted by Steve Goodman, from Post Falls, ID on 9/11/2012 Customer Rating: Material is excellent. Just make sure you messure your length. My instert is 14.5" and the material is only 14" I'll find a use for it, but not as a ZCI....Did use the screws though.

3) Submitted by Matthew Longtin, from South Saint Paul, MN on 5/20/2011 Customer Rating: Followed the instructions, now I have two perfect inserts. The drill bit worked well, given the hardness of the material, I used the slowest speed on my drill press and cleaned out the bit two to three times for each hole. Overall, excellent product.

4) Submitted by Byron Bingham, from Honeyville, UT on 4/11/2009 Customer Rating: I followed the instructions and the insert fits perfectly.

5) Submitted by David Elkow, from Lexington, KY on 11/15/2008 Customer Rating: I often wondered why a phenolic insert has not been available for the Bosch 4000 Table Saw, from anywhere. When I spotted this kit in the Rockler catalog, I said "Great, now I can make one!" Well, now I know why they have not been available. It took quite a bit of machine work to the underside of the insert to make a fit to the Bosch table (see photo). But, alas, I got-r-done and have a nice zero clearance insert. Thanks Rockler !

6) Submitted by Dave Freiberg, from Rocklin, CA on 9/21/2008 I purchased the new Jet Proshop Hybrid. The insert is 15". Therefore this product does not work on this saw. I have to a friend who is using it on his Dewalt.

7) Submitted by Tom Kendall, from Green Bay, WI on 10/11/2010 Customer Rating: Apparently a good insert. But read the dimensions under 'More Info' carefully, and check it against your table saw! These are too small to fit a Powermatic 2000, so if that is your saw, don't buy it!
