Table insert Scheppach HS 105 zero clearance

A zero-gap (or Zero Gap) insert plate refers to a saw insert that has minimal spacing on either side of the saw blade. This design allows the insert to fit very closely around the blade, creating a nearly seamless support surface for the workpiece.

Uses of a Zero Gap Insert Plate

Advantages:

1. It improves cutting quality on the underside of the workpiece by supporting it up to the saw blade teeth, significantly reducing tear-out.
2. It prevents small sections from falling into the saw slot, reducing the risk of jamming or kickback.

Disadvantages:

1. Tilting the saw blade for miter cuts is not possible with a zero-gap insert, so it must be replaced when angled cuts are needed.

    

Assembly Instructions:

This assembly can be glued only, but additionally using screws is highly recommended.

Materials Needed:

• M5x14mm screws
• M5 thread cutter
• 5mm drill bit

Preparation:

1. File down all mating surfaces to ensure a flush fit before assembly.
2. Create M5 threads in one part and 5mm holes in the other part. (The order of parts is interchangeable.)

Assembly: Take your time tightening the screws, as they may require careful alignment. (do not overtighten)
