Band Saw Zero Clearance Insert 3 Pack for Delta, Imports and Shopsmith Models PW1750

I have a circa 1952 Delta 14 bandsaw and these are the only inserts I can find that sit flush. The blue one woodcraft sells fits the more modern model I have at work, but sit proud on mine. They are a little loose, which I solved with a drop of glue. Excellent product.

Sizing is exactly as advertised, buy with confidence. Been using them for a while now so can give update. Still on the first one (out of a pack of three) and I have no complaints so yes, definitely worth the money.

I wanted a zero clearance for my scroll saw and they work even better on the band saw. Make your clearance cut slowly, by hand if possible

Ive got a Shopsmith bandsaw, which these are supposed to work with. They do fit the insert hole but they sit proud (i.e., raised a bit above the table). In some ways this is a good feature because when you're done, the insert really fits. Plan to take 30-45 minutes to sand your insert down to fit flush. If you don't fit it to your table, the material you want to cut cannot be fed smoothly (it will catch on the edge of the insert). This is both a safety issue and a practical problem if you're looking for accurate cuts.

The outside diameter is fine, but plan to spend most of an hour sanding off the lower portion, and filing a notch in the upper portion to get it to lay flat in your table.

I have a rigid band saw... I'm writing this review for other rigid owners . I gave it 5 Stars cuz the product itself is great... it does NOT fit rigid at all... you will need to do a bunch of modification. it has a two lip system an upper lip and a lower lip... you will need to shave the lower lip to Nestle in the band saw table I used my 6in grinder and grinded down the smaller lip to make it even smaller then I use the side of the 6 inch grinder to grind a quarter moon as you can see with the black Sharpie in my picture to fit the table which has the quarter moon it also has in the upper lip a tiny nipple which you also need to grind I simply turned it sideways perpendicular to grinder wheel corner and notched it as Woodworkers anybody can do this it just takes 30 minutes

Really a very slick product! Nicely cast nylon (I think - or plastic) and a VERY snug-fit; I used a block of wood and mallet to "tap" it into the table. To cut the slot for the blade I stuck the insert onto a 10" long strip of wood, with the insert snug against the fence using two-sided tape. That setup allowed me to keep my pinkies well clear of the blade, while keeping the insert absolutely straight during the cut. I won't use anything else on my band-saw after trying these....

ECELLENT
