Amazon.com Product Description

The DELTA 36-847 8-inch Dado Insert for Left Tilt Unisaws are used in place of a standard insert when installing an 8-inch dado blade set in the DELTA Left Tilt Unisaws. This allows for safer operation because of the insert's wide opening. For added convenience, the insert uses existing screws for easy installation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Expensive, December 7, 2004

Well, this does work and it fits exactly right. But, be very careful when cutting small parts with a thin dado blade because the workpiece can fall below the insert.

In other words, if you are cutting a 1/4" dado there is a lot of open area where stuff can fall. If you are cutting thin dados, your workpiece should be at least three inches wide, and that still is not very stable.

If you use a your dado blades a lot, I recommend that you create inserts (using zero clearance inserts) for dados between 1/4" and 5/8". I've got two inserts--3/8" and 5/8". The danger of parts falling below the insert is just too high.

And geez, this seems expensive. Zero clearance inserts are about $22 and I think they work better.

Sadly, I found the same insert at Sears for half the price and better made. The leveling screws on this insert are phillips, but the Sears product uses allen screws which are better. Otherwise, both inserts are identical.

This dado insert works just fine. The only flaw is the leveling screws are philips head screws and not allan screws.
