Forrest Saw Blades - NEW! LEECRAFT Zero-Clearance Inserts

#DL-1U Leecraft Zero-Clearance Table Saw Insert 13-3/8"L x 3-3/4"W

NEW! We are proud to offer LEECRAFT Zero-Clearance table saw inserts which are definitely SUPERIOR to any other brand! We think you'll agree that Leecraft's attention to detail and careful precision manufacturing are unmatched.

LEECRAFT Phenolic Table Saw Inserts reduce splintering and chip-out on the bottom side of regular or dado table saw cuts. The opening in the insert is cut on the table saw to the exact width of the saw blade’s kerf. The matching kerf prevents thin slices of wood from jamming in between the blade and the throat plate during a cut. It also reduces the amount of tear-out that can happen with a standard insert.

From the Manufacturer
The Zero Clearance concept is simple: the blade cuts its own perfectly sized slot by being raised through a machinable "blank" insert. Most inserts are 1/2-inch thick, high-density phenolic laminate, with a bonded-melamine surface. They offer superior rigidity, flatness, durability, and low friction and should not be confused with inferior HD/PP inserts. There's just no comparison! They feature leveling screws, side and end adjustment screws for a vibration-free fit, rear safety pin for lift-out protection, and a pre-cut blade bottom pocket that provides clearance for fully retracted blades and bevel cuts. Instructions also included. Use carbide-tipped blades only. A pre-cut starter pocket makes cutting the clearance slot easy and a finger hole makes for simple removal and hanging. Colors may vary. Made in USA.

INSTALLING AND FITTING YOUR INSERT

(Note: This insert does not require the front hold-down screw utilized on your original factory insert.).

  1. Lower the blade completely.
  2. Place insert in table with lug at rear and starter pocket located over blade.
  3. Run leveling screws down until insert is stable and flush with table top.
  4. Back out front end-adjustment screw and side adjustment screw to achieve a fit that is snug, yet removable.
  5. If the insert will not go down flush with table top because it is resting on top of blade, then raise up using leveling screws until insert is sitting steady slightly above table top. This should provide adequate clearance for blade.
  6. SPLITTER: If your saw has a splitter, you will need to cut a slot at the rear of the insert to accommodate it. Trace the outline of the slot from your original metal insert, and cut with bandsaw or hacksaw. Leave the bridge between the splitter slot and the blade slot as thick as possible.

CUTTING THE BLADE SLOT (KERF)

  1. Check that insert is fitted properly, and that blade is clear. Using a stick, reach under the table and rotate the blade manually to check for blade clearance.
  2. Fully cover the insert with a board, and clamp at each end to the table saw top.
  3. Re-connect power to saw. Switch on, slowly and cautiously raise blade up, to cut its way through the insert. KEEP HANDS OFF OF TABLE TOP, STAY CLEAR AND WEAR GOGGLES. Raise blade to maximum height at this time.
  4. Lower blade, turn off saw, and remove board. Your insert is now ready for use!

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR USE

  • Only recommended for use with carbide tipped cutters.
  • DADO BLADE - Use same procedures outlined above, but use additional caution due to excessive material being machined from insert during the slotting procedure.
  • Under certain conditions, an undesirable scraping noise may be generated by your saw blade. Planer type blades and/or excessive arbor run-out, and/or blade distortion, may be causing intermittent contact with the insert slot. To remedy this, remove the insert and slightly widen the slot using a file or sanding paddle.
  • Ideally, a separate insert should be used with each blade, dado stack, or angle set-up. This will insure a true "zero-clearance" effect and give you maximum benefit from your inserts.
