Review on πŸ”ͺ Enhance Precision with DEWALT DWE7402DI Dado Throatplate for 10-Inch Portable Table Saw by Justin Kedzior

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The plastic is too flexible to hold the workpiece securely.

Unfortunately, this insert's flexibility means it cannot withstand pressure without flexing, especially near the center of the neck. This crease changes greatly during cutting depending on what else the workpiece is carrying, giving you grooves of widely different depths. Its rear end, behind the screws, also tends to flex under pressure, which can cause your work piece to land on the edge of your neck, requiring a fairly nervous cut/return or burst of power to hit it. .Another review mentioned the idea of adding extra bits to the work piece to ensure the combined object always rests on the surface of the saw table, so maybe inexperience speaks, but I feel like I can't apply any pressure on the shim, which primarily contradicts their purpose of existence. If it had been a third party aftermarket item I would have charged the buyer - be careful but I was a bit disappointed with the Dewalt on this item. .

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Zero
