    I like the way you showed us how to cut out the kerf long enough to provide space for the riving knife (then sealed the end). All the other tutorials show cranking the blade up to cut through, but you have to remove the riving knife.

    Very good tutorial. Thanks. I also have DeWalt 7485. I had a little piece of aluminum (I was cutting aluminum) fall down into the blade well the other day and shoot out like a piece of shrapnel. Fortunately I was off to the side and it missed me. I heard it hit the ceiling and wall, and fall down behind the bench. Anyway, it got me to thinking about saw inserts. Seriously.

    Great video Jack - I remember watching this a while back, but didn't have a need to make one at that point. Now I've been using the table saw more, I now very much have a need to make one so I came and found your video and re-watched it - will be making one of these at the end of my current project. You mentioned this insert plate reduces tear out - have you found this makes a significant difference on that front?

    • @sumeraybuilds

      Oh yes it certainly helps reduce tear out!

    I got the same issue as mentioned in the comments already. Blade can be raised little bit over 5cm before the riving knife housing start lifting the insert. Im not sure how can you raise it all the way up with the 11mm plate.

    After much research and deliberation, I'm about to push the buy button on this saw, I've been watching tons of videos on the various things that need doing to get this saw to sing, the zero clearance obv being one of them. Wouldn't you think Dewalt would deal with this or at the very least offer a zero option plate? Anyway, I've also come across a ton of safety videos and I just wanted to pass forward to you, I saw one saying it was a no no to use the fence as a guide like you did at the end and that the cross sled is the better way. I'm not being one of them know it alls, quite the contrary, just passing info on that I've seen else where so please don't take this the wrong way. Cheers, Mick

      @@sumeraybuilds at 2:10 I noticed the ruler measure looks like it’s in metric, is that correct? I think every video I’ve seen it in imperial, maybe imperial is for the US version

    Can you raise the blade to its full height with the riving knife in. I can only manage to get it half way before the back of the riving knife pushes the insert out. I’m probably missing something obvious. Any ideas?

    • @sumeraybuilds
      @sumeraybuilds  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I can, you will need to make sure you’ve left enough gap to accommodate the riving knife. The little plug at the end of the slit might need to be cut out and redone so there’s enough room for it

    • @robcarroll6105
      @robcarroll6105 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the reply. Made one without riving knife. Cut slot by raising blade through insert. It still wants to force out insert when blade height goes past 3/4 of its height. 7485 like yours. 🫤

      I just took out my riving knife to bring the first cut through the zero clearance plate than moved the plate a inch forward to completely make the whole length of the riving knife it was simple, the hard part is making the thumb latch

    • @sumeraybuilds
      @sumeraybuilds  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh I see what you mean, I believe that was an 8mm bit. I just made sure to measure the width of the inserts on the DeWalt plate and made sure they matched.

    • @kendavidson6755
      @kendavidson6755 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your reply I use a 6 mm bit and it was fine I had a problem raising the blade fully because of the socket for the riving knife knife was much thicker than the kerf
      I split the small piece of wood at the riving knife end by trying to lift the blade fully. I drilled a 6mm hole and inserted a glued dowel which has increased the strength
      I realised that I would not need to raise the blade fully to cut thin strips
      Unless you have any suggestion about widening the kerf gap at the riving knife end?
      Thanks again for your excellent video

    Way more complicated than need be, use the previous one as the template for the screws - none of that orange pain nonsense- use the fence and a clamped piece of wood over your new insert and just raise the saw blade up through it ……… could have used a router bit for the section where the metal raised up in that curve
