Making a Zero-Clearance Insert - While an auxiliary fence prevents tearout along the back edge of a workpiece, it does not help along the bottom face. As the blade exits the bottom of the workpiece, the teeth can cause tearout, especially with the wide opening in most table saw inserts. If you need a clean cut along both faces of a workpiece, the solution is a zero-clearance insert.

It hit me that his Panel Cutting Table was really what I needed. Most of us have built or used something similar to Garys cutting table, it was his simple procedure for lifting the material onto the table that I had never thought of. Ingenious.

I needed a number of same-length dowels for a recent project. To keep my hands away from the tablesaw blade while cutting these, I made a dowel-cutting sled that allows me to make multiple cuts of identical lengths safely and accurately.

I have some pretty nice saw blades for my table saw but unfortunately I just keep them in a pile in my cupboard. Not only does it make it hard to find the one I am looking for but I am sure it is not good for the blades. This box should do the trick to solve both problems.

Making cross-cuts or trimming panels is much easier to do with a sled, it does not have to be fancy, just accurate. There are two basic designs, one runs beside the blade, like this one, the other runs on both sides of the blade. I like this one because it is simple to build and I think safer than the other style, the blade guard can still be used.

In Shop Notes issue 90, you will find an article about making tough table saw cuts easily. One of those tough cuts is cutting thin strips. Part of the problem is the opening around the blade on a stock table saw insert. It is too wide. Narrow strips could fall into it. That could ruin the piece or even worse, kick back at you. An easy-to-make zero clearance insert is the solution. This link provides an online video.

Table Saw Sleds are great for making accurate cuts. They are also really good for making set ups for repeatable cuts. We think you will find this an easy yet great addition to your woodshop tools.
