Zero Clearance Insert for DWE7485

UPDATE:

I uploaded the single piece version. To download that, click on the dropdown arrow, then select “Download STL/CAD Files”

I also updated the print profile because I made a mistake the first time and I uploaded an incomplete version, without a notch to avoid collision when installing the insert. Hope you enjoy.

I decided to make my own zero clearance insert for my fantastic DWE7485

Thanks to this accessory you will be able to cut very thin slices with your saw without being worried to drop your piece between the blade and the fence.

I had to print several version before reaching my objective, but here it is.

Unfortunately it does not fit entirely in my A1, but you have to assemble it by using 3 M4x10 Screws.

After assembly, put the screws from the original insert in the new one, or use some spare screws.

Then slide it in place, lock it, level it with the 4 screws and perform your first cut which will leave you with a perfectly tailored insert.

This insert is designed to be used for 90 degree angle cut, but you could even print a second one and try with a different angle

I will upload also the piece unsplitted in case you have a bigger printer and you want to print it in one piece.

Enjoy
