Thanks

G'day shaunno! I can't help you with any table mods, however, make and model of the saw may be of some help. My only thought is to have a metal insert made by a friendly metalworker/machinist using your old insert as a template and then mod it as required.

Stick a Perspex top to your existing table with double sided tape and drill a slightly larger hole than the blade for the blade to go through and there you go.

Just make a new insert to suit your reqirements

Yes, I think this makes the most sense
