You should make the insert thicker, then router a recessed edge so it will drop into the saw and sit flush with the top.
I thought about that. Those would take a lot more time and they work well this way. You're not wrong though. They would be stronger
When you need to cut the plastic. I use old saw blades and put the on a shaft oh and use washers for spacers between the blades. Put the blades on a shaft, then build a box wood will do for the time being. Put the shaft though a bearing and a pully on the end and and electric motor. To run it with but it needs a really slow rpms.
Another cheap idea is Sams Club sells 1/2" cutting boards that are 15"x20" out of HDPE for $9. They are great for many jigs, fence guards, push sticks etc.
The cutting board is still my fav.
Thanks! I should do more of those😁
Watch out Betty Crocker! 🤣
i might take your idea and modify it for my sawstop tablesaw. would be good to have more dado inserts.
I loved your idea, man. Great execution (:
Very cool
Brothers Make channel does tons of hdpe projects, but not yet this. The cutoffs & dust/trimmings are reusable in the next melt. Hdpe is infinitely reshapable, just apply heat again.
The brothers channel has an hdpe chisel mallet that I'm planning to try.
A lot of people say that but in my experience you can only get about 2 to 3 heats out of HDPE before it's too dried out.
@@WyldeWoodworks Dry? OK, wow. The plasticized must be burning off. I think others go with lower Temps which may limit that loss. Or it may be that they haven't done enough to notice - adding "dry used up dust" a big mass likely won't be obvious what caused oddities.
Thanks for info!
@@kpmathis71 Yeah NP. I haven't gotten good bonding at lower temps but I'm not an expert either. I'd love to know if it's possible

Well aren’t those cool! I have a thing with building inserts. Going to have to give this a try!
Awesome! Let me know how it gos!
Does your inserts not screw down?
Also, think about reviewing that corded Metabo sander, haven't found a thorough review of that on UA-cam yet. Do you like it?
It's a great cheap sander. I switched to a Dewalt because it uses a battery but I don't think it's as good as the Metabo. Thanks!
Cool idea! 👌 How did the hot glue trick work out?
Perfectly😁 That's actually a Stumpy Nubs trick
What temp did you heat it to?
2 hours at 350
How stiff are the inserts? Do the flex when in use?
They flex less than the wood ones but more than the metal ones
