The Last Zero Clearance Insert You Will Ever Make | Woodworking | Diy

WARNING: I AM NOT A TEACHER OR A PROFESSIONAL. LEARN FOR YOURSELF ABOUT PROPER SAFETY TECHNIQUES AND USE YOUR OWN BEST JUDGEMENT WHEN USING MACHINERY. YOU ARE WELCOME TO REPLICATE MY DESIGNS BUT DO NOT REPLICATE MY TECHNIQUES OR ACTIONS. SAFETY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
In this video I make an adjustable zero clearance insert plate for my table saw that works at any angle and even with dado stacks. I also talk a little bit about making my own accelerator for CA/super glue.

That CA glue tip is genius. You might want to make a separate video about that so more folks can hear about that. Keep up the great work, man!

[@BobHerres]

Agreed ! "That CA glue tip is genius!"

[@andywitt7846]

I had no idea about the home made CA glue. I'm glad you put that in there

[@agn855]

It’s not the glue but the accelerator.

[@dangkolache]

i'm not much of a safety nancy or anything but 5:00 holy shit brother

[@CeeJayThe13th]

It is a lil bit sketchy, huh lol

[@layneinchains4047]

It’s the last insert you’ll ever make cuz you won’t have any fingers left! LOL

[@carterscustomrods]

Same... and people will say "I do this type of thing all the time!" And I usually just say "cool" and give them a high-three up top! 😂

[@sandman2651]

The ca hack is priceless the amount of time i could have done with that lil nugget of information, also the plate was genius

[@melodywilson5255]

Brilliant!! The insert is amazing and the CA glue trick is fantastic!

[@woodfather]

That's a different idea, good thinking! If you make another though, please don't cut the riving knife kerf as you did at 5:00, that's a...questionable cut. 😐 Instead, leave the original insert in place on the saw, push the new one through as you would any normal cut, (using a pushstick which gives downward and forward pressure), then back it out, or turn the saw off once your new insert is positioned fully on top of the one in the saw. I don't mean to self promote, but I'm trying to explain the process I used here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6SlgpVvfJt8e6M Once again, great idea, I've wanted an insert to use specifically for angled cuts but couldn't think of a good design, think this is the one I'll go for! 👍

[@bansheeindahouz7594]

The adjustable plate is friggin genius man! Love the CA glue tip, totally worth the amount of time you 'rambled' about it 😉! I may use this & modify it for my miter saw

[@aungmyat7242]

Thank you very much for baking soda forumla. You're genius.

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Great ideas. And thanks for including the CA accelerator tip. Thumbs up!

[@seanwinston8338]

Dude! I wish I had a fraction of your creativity! Awesome!

[@pauldattilo7050]

Great idea, thanks for sharing,

[@shripadlale7476]

Smart design! Thanks for sharing.

[@aidensaari3957]

Awesome video, Great graphics with the dimensions! great touch.

[@cindyharrison4191]

Thanks for the CA glue info. You've saved lots of people money.

[@tomconway6808]

Don't be sorry about sharing that CA glue idea. I had no idea about that. That's great! As far as how you were going to keep the sliding piece in place, I thought you were going to use rare earth magnets. I guess that's another possible idea you could use if you want a more tool-less design with no screw heads showing up on the top surface.

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

Wow that is a great idea, I just bought some rare earth magnets I might go do that.

[@bjaminf113]

Diy accelerator is epic! I must have missed that episode! Thanks for going off on that tangent!!

[@aco319sig3]

Home made accelerator! Dude, game changer!

[@csfigueroa2641]

Good job, Josh! You put a lot of thought into it. (The accelerator trick was cool. I was concerned that the liquid would be absorbed by the wood and cause swelling issues.)

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

Thanks, idk about the accelerator yet. I think as long as I I don't completely soak the wood when I use it, it will be fine, but we will see.

[@BentonLandry]

So glad I found this!! I was just planning to make a zero clearance insert tomorrow, but was thinking I am going to have to make one for angled cuts too.... And now I don't have to! Great video!! This idea might be useful on a crosscut sled too....

[@richardsilva-spokane3436]

This is a great video and product. You totally explain every crucial detail 👍👍👍👍

[@TopCat2021]

Wonderful idea,Great job!

[@thumbwiz]

Wow, what an excellent video. Thank you for all the amazing tips.

[@matthewwalker7024]

Great job! I am so copying this. Thank you

[@BobHerres]

Excellent Project! Very functional, and I love the magical "Red Line Measurements & Angles" Thank you for sharing!

[@djsalad7891]

😹

[@colh5910]

Nice job Josh. Well done.

[@mikeseitz2792]

Awesome...!!!

[@Roosters-rants1977]

That is slick . Hell of an idea.

[@SuperMatt2112]

Thanks for the tips man, great video, very helpful and the CS Glue tip... Priceless and timeless. thanks for sharing your stuff with us.

[@rwind656]

Great thinking!

[@carterscustomrods]

2:26 fyi ... water .. just water alone will work as a CA glue accelerator. Its not as fast as the fast evaporative stuff, but it also doesnt cause expansion, or extreme heat either. (CA glue and chemical accelerators get hot enough to melt things like glass, aluminum. )

[@pteddie6965]

Excellent design, Josh. I've been wanting a few plates for my Delta, but the ones available online are just too expensive. Now, with your basic design and tips, I feel like I can make my own plates. Thanks for sharing this video and design.

[@gsilcoful]

Awesome.

[@georgecisneroz597]

Very cool man. 👍🏽

[@OregonBladez]

On your Zero Clearance, I wonder in some Neodymium Magnets would work for the insert as well as to hold it to the tabs on your saw.

[@Amethyst1919]

Wow! very innovative!

[@shinobitree5711]

Awesome idea!

[@RoyBlumenthal]

Brilliant work!

[@billmclaughlin8438]

Very smart!

[@fredanastas7103]

Genius!

[@mbmurphy777]

Nice design

[@gedreillyhomestead6926]

Genius idea! 👍 Wouldn't it be great if each of the manufacturers made an insert plate like this as standard. No! but they will sell you one as an optional upgrade! 😕

[@je-fq7ve]

i would seal the backside and edges with your finish. Doing only one side creates tension in the plywood.

[@agn855]

The moving part could buckle up in summertime, or if created at that time will become lose in winter bc of expansion/contraction. And what’s with that huge square gap left by the sliding part to its right, that’ll be able to catch moving material (06:20)?!

[@ERone43]

Niiiiice

[@Otterbrookdesign]

Ur one smart feller! X-D

[@carlosusher1]

What model is your tablesaw? I have a similar dewalt saw but it doesn’t accept dado blades

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

I have a Dewalt dw745 jobsite table saw. I don't think it is supposed to be used with a dado stack but it fits on the arbor to I use it anyways.

[@joolie1h]

I don’t understand how you adjust it. While it’s in place or do you take it out? And how do you determine how much you need it open? Sorry if this seems obvious; I have much to learn.

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

If I'm just changing the angle, I don't have to take out the plate to adjust it. I just tilt the blade to whatever angle I want, losen the bolts on the movable piece, and slide it left until it touches the blade so there is zero clearance. Then I can tighten down the bolts again to fix it in that position. If I want to change from a normal blade to a dado stack, I fist have to take off the insert plate so I can change out the blade. Once I have the normal blade replaced with a dado stack, I loosen the insert plate bolts, move the movable peice all the away to the right so the opening is big as possible, then fit the insert plate back into place on the saw. Once it is back on, I move the movable peice left again until it touches the blade, then I can tighten the bolts back down to fix it into position.

[@sgassistant6643]

I subscribed, liked, hit the bell… all that, right after - the ‘freeze w annotations’ for each piece. So tired of watching great woodworking, with zero details being shared on screen and even the lazy voice over method. IF YOU CHOOSE to integrate a camera to your woodworking process… remember, it’s about sharing knowledge and the same attention to detail that’s going into project - needs to applied to the video tutorial. thanks a bunch for the baking soda tip. Cheers!

[@stephendorris8156]

I’m disappointed you didn’t make this with a 2x6 😂

[@shoceanCal]

you have become beautiful ❤️

[@BloodysChannel]

Him: Uses tape to "protect the surface of the saw" Also him: Uses chisel to remove the tape

[@jerryseinfeld6283]

if the chisel blade is flat and the surface of the table saw is flat, and he runs the chisel along the table saw surface, the only thing that will be removed is the tape and the table saw surface will be unscathed

[@joolie1h]

Had the same thought! 🤣

[@agn855]

Well, at least he hasn’t used a planer that will scratch that surface once the insert is at the same level, but wait…?!
