Went to use my wobble dado on the table saw and realized that I didn’t have a throat plate for dado blades. I had one for my old table saw but I haven’t used the dado since then. This was the second throat plate I’ve made for this saw, so making the blank went quickly.

A board about the right size was found in the scrap bin, flattened and jointed on the jointer, thinned on the thickness planer, then ripped to width on the table saw. The round ends were traced, rough cut, then shaped on the bench sander until it fit snugly.

Made a new table saw insert this week to avoid dealing with my alignment issues.

First step was making a blank the right thickness, then tracing the original insert. Cut out on the band saw, then chase the outline on the bench sander. The set screw locations were prepped with 10-24 threads to use longer hardware while getting ready to cut the hole for the blade.

Ignore the fact that I had the blade on backwards, but here it is cutting through the insert while it is leveled and clamped to the table.
