Choosing the right insert for your saw:

1. First measure the thickness of the original Craftsman throat plate.   It should be Greater then 1/16".                                                                                                                                                                          (if yours measure 1/16" or less the insert will not work. The insert will be higher then your table surface.)
2. Now Measure the length of the original Craftsman throat plate that came with your saw.  The measurement will be either 14" or 14-3/8".  Choose the size that will fit your saw. 

• Both size measure 3-3/4" wide.

The Benefits of using a Zero Clearance Insert with Your Table Saw

Zero-clearance inserts are the best simple upgrade you can make to your table saw. They'll make your saw safer and give you better cutting results with less hassle. A zero-clearance insert minimizes the size of the blade opening. 

• All inserts are shipped without the blade cutout so you can cut the perfect width for your preferred blade or Dado Stack after installation.
• To prevent small pieces of wood from falling into the gap around the table saw blade while cutting. This helps prevent dangerous table saw kickbacks.
• Reducing the amount of tearout and chipout that can occur with the factory throat plate or a standard insert.  Zero-clearance inserts reduce tearout and chipout by ensuring that the workpiece has support on all sides during a cut. The support helps prevent wood fibers from getting pulled away from the workpiece as the blade advances through. The less open space you have under your workpiece, the greater control you have over the cut, and the quality of the cut.

When you see the difference that a zero clearance insert makes, you'll want to have a dedicated insert for each sawing operation you do, regular cuts, thin kerf cuts, dado cuts (one for each width) and even angled cuts. Keep extra blanks on hand, and you're always ready to replace a worn-out insert.
