Zero Clearance Inserts for Saws. You Need One!

What does a zero clearance insert do for your saw? A zero clearance inserts helps make cleaner cuts and keeps you safer by preventing small pieces of wood from getting jammed in the dust collection. I'll be trying the FastCap zero clearance tape on my miter saw in this video to see how it works. I have a zero clearance insert for my Delta 36-725 table saw. They help prevent small pieces from flying back at you. So zero clearance inserts help make a saw safer. A zero clearance throat plate also helps prevent splintering and wood chipping when cutting. I actually think the zero clearance tape works well on the miter saw. I would not recommend the zero clearance tape for the table saw because it is thick enough to create an un square cut. These are great woodworking tips and tricks I wish I had learned about sooner. Amazon affiliate links below.
