I'm going to show you how to make a zero clearance insert for Dewalt 7491 table saw! A zero clearance table saw insert (or zero clearance throat plate) will give you a much cleaner cut. This is specifically for the DWE7491, but it can be used for many other table saws. Especially other DeWalt table saws when woodworking for cleaner cuts.

I'll explain why you need a zero clearance insert (safer, better cuts, better dust collection) and then show you how to make it. I'll cover cutting out the basic shape, zero clearance insert layout, cutting out the tabs, finger hole and adjustment screws so you can level the insert when done. I'll also show you the safe way to run the blade through your insert.

Now I can make much safer and cleaner cuts with better dust collection.
