Years ago I made a zero clearance insert and it's been useful ever since. Today I find I need one for the blade at a slight angle and the other one won't work. I was going to use the metal one that came with the saw, but the cast light metal disintegrated when I put it in! I cut out a new blank, shimmed it up and sanded it until it fit perfectly. But I forget how I cut the slot in the other one. I can't crank my 10" blade low enough to clear the 1/2" plywood of the insert. I'm pretty sure I didn't own a smaller blade the last time I did this, so how did I do it? I own a smaller blade now (for my skilsaw), but I'll have to check if the arbor will fit.
What obvious thing am I missing?
Thanks.
