Review on 🔧 Enhance Precision and Safety with the Delta Power Equipment Corporation 36-501 Zero Clearance Throat Plate by Todd Foster

I was 'planning' to make my own ZC insert but changed my mind and decided to buy it. This insert is well made. It's not perfect, but it does the job. You may need to adjust the tabs a little to make them lie flat on your saw, but once there they won't budge. The saw blade with this insert makes a hell of a noise because the sides of the gap are against the edges of the blade. Two ways to fix this: (1) When making a cut (lifting the spinning blade through the insert), fit a slightly thicker blade to the saw. If you don't have an extra knife, you can (2) raise the knife as usual, then lower, tilt 3 degrees to one side, raise and lower the knife, then raise and lower 3 degrees to the other side, blade again. The idea is to remove just enough material from the liner so it's no longer touching the sides of your blade and making that high-pitched whine noise. I would recommend anyone with a 36-725 to buy it. Good luck and safe working!
