Make A Zero Clearance Throat Plate The Easy Way!

This video will show you how to make a zero clearance throat plate the easy way, and if they actually make difference in your cut quality.
In this project I make three different styles of throat plates. A zero clearance throat plate for a my table saw and miter saw, and a dado stack insert for my table saw in. This project is super easy and makes a huge difference in the quality of your cuts.

Blade guards cause as many problems as they solve, but the riving knife is a huge safety feature that does not affect functionality of jigs/push sticks/sight lines and there’s no excuse for not using one.
You cut all the recesses in the bottom of the table saw insert for mechanical clearance so the final step to complete the insert is easy.
Use a jigsaw and extend the blade slot far enough back that the riving knife has clearance.
I highly recommend making a dedicated insert for 45 degree angle cuts too.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice.

@@SaltCityWorkshop you are welcome, I replaced the stock insert on my saw and this is how I solved the riving knife issue, I will not make a through cut without the riving knife in place, it is just not worth the risk. Feel free to use this idea in a video and I do not need any credits.

Great video and great help for making the table saw throat plate. I have to admit I'm not that good at making throat plates but this video is a BIG help, it also helps that I have the same Laguna table saw :)

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

That’s awesome! It’s a great saw!

Nice! I need to make some of these. My miter saw has a terrible insert and always leaves tearout.

[@SaltCityWorkshop]

Do it! Super easy to make and makes a world of difference.

Awesome

Thanks!

Great video. BTW, it's pronounced day-do, not dad-oh.

[@chashint1]

If I were going to correct a pronunciation I would recommend day-doe not day-do.

What a bout mitre cuts? Are you going to swap the throat plate out on your drop saw every time you make a mitre cut?
