I needed a zero clearance insert for use with a dado blade, 5/16" wide. I used a piece of baltic birch plywood and made it.
When cutting the kerf in the insert, I positioned my "T" square fence (Biesemeyer) to the left of the cut (My saw is a right tilt.) but over the solid part of the ZC insert. Slowly I raised the dado through the ZC insert. It was so much easier than clamping a timber across the ZC insert and saw table.
