Zero Clearance Table Inserts
Ideal for use when ripping thin strips or making
bevel cuts, these prevent tearout and jammed
blades by supporting material close to the blade.
Use the standard table insert as a template when
creating additional inserts from wood or plywood.
Slots can be custom cut for specific blade angles
by raising the running blade into an uncut insert
at the angle you desire. Be sure to make an addi-
tional slot for the blade splitter.
We also carry a wide selection of table inserts
(Figure 2) in the Grizzly catalog or website. Be
sure to hold the insert firmly in place with a piece
of wood when creating slots. Never hold the table
insert with your hand while cutting new slots.
Push Paddles
Push paddles provide added leverage and sup-
port when ripping or crosscutting wide work-
pieces as shown in Figure 3. We offer a number
of push paddles in the Grizzly catalog.
Featherboards
Easily made from scrap stock, featherboards pro-
vide an added degree of protection against kick-
back as shown in Figure 4. To make a feather-
board, cut a 30-40° angle at one end of the board
and make a number of end cuts at approximately
1
⁄4
" apart and 2" to 3" deep. We also offer a num-
ber of featherboards in the Grizzly catalog.
