    Default Zero clearance inserts in Mk 3 Workcentre

    I have a Mark 3 Triton Workcentre and have often wondered about whether it might be possible to put a zero clearance insert in it.

    Has anyone done it successfully, please? How, please?

    maybe a sheet of 3mm mdf (or the melamine coated one) bigger than the table top. put a batten on the bottom on all four sides, so it is a snug fit to create a new top.
    If you have a through table winder this will be easier.

    Raise the blade while running to cut a new slot for the blade. A few more grooves for the fence and also the scales. The fence then should hold it down for you.

    Yep - that's what I used too - 3mm MDF with some double sided tape to hold it down, but otherwise same as bpj1968
