Hey gang...I¡¯m new to the forum, but thought I¡¯d share my ZCI¡¯s. As you all know, most sliding table saws have much to be desired
when it comes to the saw blade insert. Small off-cuts are constantly getting jammed or flung across the shop! There is simply too much space around the blade, or even with other zero clearance inserts, once the blade plunges through it, there is only a small
amount of insert material remaining to the left of the blade. Weak!?
Mine are superb!?
These quality ZCI¡¯s will minimize tear out, eliminate small off-cuts from getting wedged, and make cutting on your Hammer K-3 so much safer!??Made of Baltic Birch and covered on both sides with high pressure laminate (Formica) that is adhered with epoxy (rather than contact cement)...this creates a smooth, strong and very rigid insert.
I¡¯ve shipped over 70 of these with hugely positive feedback. So far these fit:?
Hammer K-3 Felder CF-531 Hammer C3 31 Felder K500P and K500S (please check! The length of mine are 22 13/16¡± or 579 mm)?
The first link/video (scroll down to see video) shows the inserts in action...the second link is a vid that shows an easy and safe way to elongate the saw kerf to accommodate the riving knife. ?And how I cut the slot for the scoring blade. ?Thanks a ton, Ramon
