Amazon.com Product Description

The Leecraft Zero-Clearance Table Saw Insert supports work right up to the blade. With outstanding durability and wear-resistance, it also reduces chip-out and splintering. The zero-clearance concept is simple: the blade cuts its own perfectly sized slot by being raised through a machinable "blank" insert. Made from high-density phenolic laminate with a bonded-melamine surface, the insert is 1/2-inch thick. It offers superior rigidity, flatness, durability, and low friction. Other features include leveling screws, side and end adjustment screws for a vibration-free fit, a rear safety pin for lift-out protection, and a precut blade bottom pocket that provides clearance for fully retracted blades and bevel cuts. Designed for the Delta table saw with carbide-tipped blades only, this insert comes with Leecraft's lifetime warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Splinters virtually eliminated, June 13, 2000

By using the Leecraft Zero Clearance Insert, I have virtually eliminated edge splintering when cross-cutting all types of wood including plywood, oak and others. They work great when making dado's as well. These inserts can be installed on your table saw within minutes and you are ready to cut.

You might wonder why people just don't make their own from wood until you use these. They are nice heavy duty inserts are easy to level with grub screws and are solid heavy plastic laminate with a low friction surface. These are much better than the standard metal inserts that come with the Unisaw and better than and less hassle than you can make yourself. I have several for regular blades and dado cutters.

This review is from: Leecraft DL-1U Zero Clearance Table Saw Insert for Delta Table Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have two of these, one for zero clearance of my Forrest WW II blade, the other for my stacked dado set. It takes just a couple of minutes to adjust the screws to get a perfect fit. Then it's a simple matter of clamping a scrap 2X4 or something onto the top of your table saw, covering the insert, and run the blade up through the insert to your desired height. On my zero clearance insert for the Forrest I went up as high as the saw would go, on the dado insert I went up a full two inches. It was easy to drill out the insert to allow for my splitter.
These inserts make it safer and cleaner when operating your saw. Being that mine are bright yellow, they also act as a reminder to me when I'm entering the DANGER ZONE.... You won't regret getting one, or more, of these for your shop.
