Thanks for the "..sorry that doesn't have anything to do with the video.." part, this is going to help me while I'm waiting for my CA glue accelerator to arrive. Great video and insert idea.
The adjustable plate is friggin genius man! Love the CA glue tip, totally worth the amount of time you 'rambled' about it 😉! I may use this & modify it for my miter saw
That's a different idea, good thinking! If you make another though, please don't cut the riving knife kerf as you did at 5:00, that's a...questionable cut. 😐 Instead, leave the original insert in place on the saw, push the new one through as you would any normal cut, (using a pushstick which gives downward and forward pressure), then back it out, or turn the saw off once your new insert is positioned fully on top of the one in the saw. I don't mean to self promote, but I'm trying to explain the process I used here: ruclips.net/video/IsBQb9G6IEA/видео.html Once again, great idea, I've wanted an insert to use specifically for angled cuts but couldn't think of a good design, think this is the one I'll go for! 👍
So glad I found this!! I was just planning to make a zero clearance insert tomorrow, but was thinking I am going to have to make one for angled cuts too.... And now I don't have to! Great video!! This idea might be useful on a crosscut sled too....
Good job, Josh! You put a lot of thought into it. (The accelerator trick was cool. I was concerned that the liquid would be absorbed by the wood and cause swelling issues.)
Don't be sorry about sharing that CA glue idea. I had no idea about that. That's great! As far as how you were going to keep the sliding piece in place, I thought you were going to use rare earth magnets. I guess that's another possible idea you could use if you want a more tool-less design with no screw heads showing up on the top surface.
2:26 fyi ... water .. just water alone will work as a CA glue accelerator. Its not as fast as the fast evaporative stuff, but it also doesnt cause expansion, or extreme heat either. (CA glue and chemical accelerators get hot enough to melt things like glass, aluminum. )
Excellent design, Josh. I've been wanting a few plates for my Delta, but the ones available online are just too expensive. Now, with your basic design and tips, I feel like I can make my own plates. Thanks for sharing this video and design.
The moving part could buckle up in summertime, or if created at that time will become lose in winter bc of expansion/contraction. And what’s with that huge square gap left by the sliding part to its right, that’ll be able to catch moving material (06:20)?!
Genius idea! 👍 Wouldn't it be great if each of the manufacturers made an insert plate like this as standard. No! but they will sell you one as an optional upgrade! 😕
I don’t understand how you adjust it. While it’s in place or do you take it out? And how do you determine how much you need it open? Sorry if this seems obvious; I have much to learn.
If I'm just changing the angle, I don't have to take out the plate to adjust it. I just tilt the blade to whatever angle I want, losen the bolts on the movable piece, and slide it left until it touches the blade so there is zero clearance. Then I can tighten down the bolts again to fix it in that position. If I want to change from a normal blade to a dado stack, I fist have to take off the insert plate so I can change out the blade. Once I have the normal blade replaced with a dado stack, I loosen the insert plate bolts, move the movable peice all the away to the right so the opening is big as possible, then fit the insert plate back into place on the saw. Once it is back on, I move the movable peice left again until it touches the blade, then I can tighten the bolts back down to fix it into position.
I subscribed, liked, hit the bell… all that, right after - the ‘freeze w annotations’ for each piece. So tired of watching great woodworking, with zero details being shared on screen and even the lazy voice over method. IF YOU CHOOSE to integrate a camera to your woodworking process… remember, it’s about sharing knowledge and the same attention to detail that’s going into project - needs to applied to the video tutorial. thanks a bunch for the baking soda tip. Cheers!
if the chisel blade is flat and the surface of the table saw is flat, and he runs the chisel along the table saw surface, the only thing that will be removed is the tape and the table saw surface will be unscathed
That CA glue tip is genius. You might want to make a separate video about that so more folks can hear about that. Keep up the great work, man!
Agreed ! "That CA glue tip is genius!"
I had no idea about the home made CA glue. I'm glad you put that in there
It’s not the glue but the accelerator.
Thanks for the "..sorry that doesn't have anything to do with the video.." part, this is going to help me while I'm waiting for my CA glue accelerator to arrive. Great video and insert idea.
The ca hack is priceless the amount of time i could have done with that lil nugget of information, also the plate was genius
i'm not much of a safety nancy or anything but 5:00 holy shit brother
It is a lil bit sketchy, huh lol
It’s the last insert you’ll ever make cuz you won’t have any fingers left! LOL
Same... and people will say "I do this type of thing all the time!" And I usually just say "cool" and give them a high-three up top! 😂
I went directly to the five minutes mark once I seen the time stamp 🤣
Brilliant!! The insert is amazing and the CA glue trick is fantastic!
Thanks for the CA glue info. You've saved lots of people money.
Thank you very much for baking soda forumla. You're genius.

Diy accelerator is epic! I must have missed that episode! Thanks for going off on that tangent!!

Dude! I wish I had a fraction of your creativity! Awesome!
Home made accelerator! Dude, game changer!
So glad I found this!! I was just planning to make a zero clearance insert tomorrow, but was thinking I am going to have to make one for angled cuts too.... And now I don't have to! Great video!! This idea might be useful on a crosscut sled too....
Smart design! Thanks for sharing.
That is slick . Hell of an idea.
Awesome video, Great graphics with the dimensions! great touch.
Good job, Josh! You put a lot of thought into it. (The accelerator trick was cool. I was concerned that the liquid would be absorbed by the wood and cause swelling issues.)
Thanks, idk about the accelerator yet. I think as long as I I don't completely soak the wood when I use it, it will be fine, but we will see.
This is a great video and product.
You totally explain every crucial detail 👍👍👍👍

Wow that is a great idea, I just bought some rare earth magnets I might go do that.
Wow, what an excellent video. Thank you for all the amazing tips.
Excellent Project! Very functional, and I love the magical "Red Line Measurements & Angles" Thank you for sharing!
😹
Nice job Josh. Well done.
Wonderful idea,Great job!
Great job! I am so copying this. Thank you

On your Zero Clearance, I wonder in some Neodymium Magnets would work for the insert as well as to hold it to the tabs on your saw.
Thanks for the tips man, great video, very helpful and the CS Glue tip... Priceless and timeless. thanks for sharing your stuff with us.
Great idea, thanks for sharing,
Brilliant work!
Awesome...!!!
Wow! very innovative!

Great thinking!
i would seal the backside and edges with your finish. Doing only one side creates tension in the plywood.
Very cool man. 👍🏽
Awesome idea!

Genius!
Very smart!
Awesome.
Nice design
Ur one smart feller! X-D
Niiiiice
What model is your tablesaw? I have a similar dewalt saw but it doesn’t accept dado blades
I have a Dewalt dw745 jobsite table saw. I don't think it is supposed to be used with a dado stack but it fits on the arbor to I use it anyways.
I don’t understand how you adjust it. While it’s in place or do you take it out? And how do you determine how much you need it open? Sorry if this seems obvious; I have much to learn.

I’m disappointed you didn’t make this with a 2x6 😂
you have become beautiful ❤️
Him: Uses tape to "protect the surface of the saw"
Also him: Uses chisel to remove the tape
if the chisel blade is flat and the surface of the table saw is flat, and he runs the chisel along the table saw surface, the only thing that will be removed is the tape and the table saw surface will be unscathed
Had the same thought! 🤣
Well, at least he hasn’t used a planer that will scratch that surface once the insert is at the same level, but wait…?!
