When I had the k700 the first pic is how i did it.?
The second is the k940 and you can see i just leave the left open, The only time its an issue is short thin strips drop in but the don¡¯t go flying. If i was to do the k700 again I would just leave it open

I¡¯ve seen Ramon¡¯s inserts, they look great! I like what he does by routing out the bottom to allow for a thicker insert. However, I chose to go with a simpler approach for now.?
Here¡¯s a few more pics (with one coat of butcher block oil.) I left the insert just shy of 1 5/8¡± wide, this leaves about a 1/16th gap from the sliding table but one can also trim the insert to width as desired of course. Doing it this way makes sense so that I wouldn¡¯t have a thin piece of wood flapping in the breeze.?
If there¡¯s a little demand, I¡¯d consider making the next batch reinforced by doing a laminated glueup to build up the thickness on the bottom. Will have to see how these hood up in the mean time.?These are just under 3/8¡± or 9.5¡± ml thickness. I¡¯m thinking around $30 a piece plus shipping would cover my material costs and shop labor.

?After a week it sure seems like the stock insert leaves something to be desired.
I just wonder how well a wooden insert will hold up, particularly the part between the blade and the table. That may not matter much, as the offcuts I am losing are on the other side of the blade.
Ramon Valdez makes some zero clearance inserts for 500 series saws but they are thicker, probably to strengthen the left side. The thickness means there is a lot of milling on the bottom surface.
If you ran some of these, what would you charge?
