Mark,

That looks great. BTW, plastic is safer than metal to have around the blade. Are you having the parts milled (i think you mentioned AL) because some portions of the design are too thin to be robust in plastic?

Imran?

?Welp looks like I am ready to have metal cut.?

- The scoring section was to long to fit on the 3d print bed so I made it in 2 pieces and connected it with a half lap dovetail.
- I modified the pockets for the dust shield to allow a little more adjustment, could have just made them go through the top except it would have left a corner that houses the LED unsupported and somewhat floating in space, probably ok but not as clean (of course would be hidden by the wood insert but...)
- I tapped the holes for the insert, I don¡¯t like the m8 flat heads so close to the blade, probably ok but may just use some low head cap screws which are narrower and low because the insert is only 8mm thick but they are expensive and I can be cheap - out of the bazillion bolts we have at work in the assembly areas and the tool crib I can¡¯t find any... could bling it up and use brass but then I would just be show boating ?
- The wood insert shown I just banged out tonight so not so refined, still need to cut the slot for the riving knife and will probably use it as is until the completed parts arrive - ?I also 3d printed a fixture to do the cutout with a 3/8¡± flush trim bit which should be done tomorrow?

Sorry that you weren't able to purchase a ZCI, but selfishly I'm very much enjoying watching you work though this design. ?Very impressive! ?
