I own a Dewalt DW788 20" variable speed scroll saw. As I continue to practice, I hope to get good enough to do some detailed puzzles.
Anyway, one of the books I'm reading talks about "zero clearance inserts" for more delicate work. I can't find anything in the Dewalt "add ons" that includes a zero clearance insert for the saw.
I did find mention of a zero clearance insert for some other scroll saws
- for example, the Delta 40-540 16".
From the looks of what I can see in the picture, the Delta's opening is larger than the Dewalt. I don't envision that there is any sort of insert I can put on the Dewalt.
So anyhow, what IS a zero clearance insert? And does the smaller hole on the Dewalt preclude the need for this insert for more "delicate" work?
