The dimensions don't quite fit the Delta saw

The dimensional tolerances are not very good so it had to be adapted to my old Delta saw. The hole in the table is perfectly round 2.499", these discs are not perfectly round, they range from 2.492 to 2.513 in diameter so I had to grind the edges to fit the hole. The rim is also a bit thick so that the top protruded from the table by about 0.01" so I had to carefully trim the edge so it would sit exactly in the same plane with the table. I managed it, but it took about an hour. my time, just to

Pros
  • COMPATIBILITY: Designed to work with the Delta band saw Table settings
Cons
  • Slightly torn

I've always made my own zero gap inserts from scratch but decided to try them as a starting point. They are slightly smaller than the advertised 2.5" and thinner than the advertised 3/32" so they are too loose. The target saw is a 14 inch porter cord very similar to the delta saws people have been talking about and the hole in the cast iron table is exactly 2.5 inches and 3/32 deep. It takes me about half an hour to make my own 1/4" HDPE liner with a simple circular jig on a band saw and drillโ€ฆ

Does not fit exactly but easily adapts to

This product was purchased for use on a 36 year old KFF-14 band saw. As other reviews have noted, the part doesn't quite fit, but after about 30 minutes of work I was able to trim the OD and male portion to fit. I used the bit shown in the picture on my drill press (poor man's router). I had to shave the top flange depth and inside diameter radius to match. I doubt this one will last as long as the original but with 4 of them remaining to be modified and used I will get a lot out of myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • DIMENSIONS: 2-1/2" OD, 2-3/16" ID; Height: 3/32" and 3/16"

  • Not bad, but...
