    Default Zero Clearance Insert For Carbatec TS-C250P

    G'day Folks,

    Just got round to making my first zero-clearance insert for the Carbatec cabinet saw. Not quite as straight forward as I hoped!. I had a look at the ones they sell for a staggering $170 and replicated it more or less in MDF. Now I have all the measurements and a template for it I'll be making some more.

    Any thoughts, suggestions, questions & insults welcome.

    Just need to get the riving knife through and you'll be set. I owned one of those saws for a while and thought the insert that ships with the saw was basically not useable so it's either buy their one or do as you've done here.

    I've got a template which I've made now so I should be able to knock one out in under an hour which isn't too bad. I'll post a pic of the template if I get a chance.

    I'm still confused... Is it a swipe at me or other posters, or am I not getting the humor because I'm a pom?

    I made mine from a piece of hardwood, after it was fitted I ran the belt sander over the bench top to make sure it was flush with the top.

    Ok I've refined the 0-Clearance abit more and came up with 2.0

    I haven't included a riving knife opening because I'm not sure I'll be using it.

    No side swipe intended; just a play on words - to preface a "well done".
