When I was shopping around for a table saw, I definitely didn't want one with a fixed RK like the triton 2000 I was upgrading from
which is why I bought the DW as it has a rise/ fall RK, I do now recall seeing some other makes/models that didn't have this feature or any knife at all

Problem solved
I always feel apprehensive about hacking into something that is so new
here's a before shot, one with the small piece cut out, and the last after a touch up with paint
I now have the full unimpeded cutting height of 80mm,
thanks for everyones input, I've probably learnt a couple of things on the way
cheers

a template aswell I plan to make some new ones from English oak or walnut just to be flashy
Here's the ones I made including template:

As we had thunderstorms and rain all morning in Kalgoorlie and it was pretty wet and cold outside for the rest of the day, I thought I'd make up a new zero clearance insert using some of the ideas I've learned from this thread.Not sure what the timber is - just some piece of hardwood I found in the shed. I found a piece of flat steel just slightly thinner than the kerf my blades cut, and made up a splitter from that - the riving knife on the HAFCO saw is useless - really only just a mount for the horrible safety guard that comes with the saw and was thrown out on day one.
Pretty happy with this one - it is a tighter fit and more stable than my previous plywood efforts. And my crosscut sled passes over it easily without having to change to an insert without a splitter.

Book matched Ironbark Insert
I gave my 20 plus year old Dewalt DW708 compound mitre saw a new set of inserts, the old yellow ones had started to disintegrate (plastic gone brittle), so with a nice off cut of Ironbark the saw now looks great and making the cut with the blade through the new insert gives me a nice reference line when cutting timber, this will however stop being the case once I use the tilt mitre feature, but then again I might just use my other saw for compound mitres and take advantage of this new Zero clearance insert.

Used old yellow insert for a template,
