I recently picked up a 12" Rockwell contractors TS and I am currently in the process of cleaning it up. Since I am going to use this almost exclusively with a dado blade, I needed to make a new zero clearance plate. I made it out of MDF, and with a little sanding, they fit perfectly.
Now, my question, the original plate was just flat steel and screwed into the top via 4 screws with no provision for adjustments. My plate sits a little lower than the top of the TS (by design) to allow for adjustments. Now, I need some type of brass/steel threaded insert that I can put a screw into so I can level the plate. Any chance, anyone has done something like this, or might have seen something along this line? It obviously needs to be short (1/4" or so) so I can recess it into the mdf.
Thanx in advance
