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.

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.
