Leecraft DW-3 Zero-Clearance Dado Table Saw Insert for Dewalt Saws (Colors May Vary)

I purchased this for my Dewalt DWE-7491RS table saw and I couldn't be any more pleased! I made the big mistake of purchasing a dado throat plate from Dewalt and it was a complete waste of money. It flexed big time and ruined cut after cut. This DW-3 Zero-Clearance Dado insert from Leecraft if EVERYTHING the Dewalt one is NOT! The Leecraft is made from very high-quality materials, it is solid, and fits perfectly! The instructions that accompany this item are clear, concise, and had me up and running in no time at all. Your search is over. Just by this one and get back to making sawdust!

Love it! Love the color, love the setup! LOVE IT!I was working with 1/2" Baltic Birch and having terrible tear out so I purchased this and a Diablo D1060X blade. These two combine made BEAUTIFUL cuts!As for fitment, it was a bit touch and go at first and took me a little longer than I expected it to take but I finally got it within 5-10mins. This was also my first time doing this so that could have been a factor. The Adjusters are Flat Head Phillips head screws, I would have preferred Hex head but that’s just my preference. I also would have preferred a physical locking mechanism in the front side instead of just a pressure fitment. There are 4 leveling screws as per the Dewalt design and then two pressure fitting screws on the front and right side of the insert.Lastly, I saw on the DW-2, there were concerns with a cutout to clear the arbor and space to put in the riving blade. There is a cutout for the arbor to clear the insert and all I had to do for the riving blade was set it on my saw blade upside down, short side towards fence, bring the fence up to it and lock it in. Then remove it, install the old insert and then the insert like a normal piece of wood until the slot extended to the end of the insert. With that, the insert fits over the riving bladed just fine.

this is made of some composite material that has a good weight to it . it has adjustment screws on bottom and edges so you can turn them out until it sits perfectly flush to your table and also fits nice and snug. I recommend you adjust accordingly before raising your blade thru the throat. I did not think to do this so I raised the blade up THEN made adjustments and when I raised the blade again I ended up with a slightly larger cut opening since it move a little to one side . still a very small gap and this is great for cutting very thin pieces and not having them get sucked into the saw.

It works and fits perfectly on my Dewalt table saw. like other reviews say you have to make your on riving knife cut, if you want to use it. Just be careful not to go all the way that's if you cut 3/4 inch material. Anything bigger than that you can't use the riving knife or you will have to cut all the way thru the zero insert to make it work and that compromises the integrity of the zero clearance to work properly because the adjusting screw it comes with are not that great and the snug fit is lost. Other than that it works fine.

Much better than plastic options. The plate is sturdy and has screws on the side and end to secure it to the table but still allows it to be easily removed. Instructions are detailed and helpful. Don't waste money trying to make the plastic options work.

My Zero Clearance Insert has just arrived. Exactly what I ordered, and fits perfectly. Will definitely be buying a few more.Thanks Leecraft great product.

Arrived quickly and is a very high quality dado insert. Fits like a glove and is high quality.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this zero clearance insert for my DeWalt 7491rs table saw. This particular insert is specifically for Dado blades. If you use dado blades then you MUST have a zero clearance insert. This insert is kinda pricey but it is effective. I like that it includes 4 leveling screws. The leveling screws help you get the insert level with the top of your table saw. I have seen other zero clearance inserts that leave out the leveling screws. Another thing I like about this insert is that it has an opening for you to stick your finger in to remove the insert. It also has several notches built into the insert to keep the insert from raising up on the outfeed end of your saw blade.
