Zero-Clearance Insert - Grizzly G0623X Owner's Manual

Zero-Clearance
Insert
A zero-clearance insert can be made for the saw
in about 30 minutes, and must be made of
furniture quality plywood or hardwood. (We rec-
ommend making at least 6–12 while you are going
through the process, so you have plenty on hand
for varying blade widths, heights, or angles.
A zero-clearance insert is required if you want
to install a dado blade. When a dado blade is
installed, the scoring blade and splitter/riving knife
are removed—as neither will properly perform
their intended function.
If you plan to use a standard blade with a
zero-clearance insert, additional modifications
will need to be made in order to install the scoring
blade and splitter/riving knife.
If you must use this saw to cut the dimen-
sions of the zero-clearance insert you will
fabricate in these instructions, make sure
you DO NOT make any cuts while the
included table insert is removed. THIS IS
DANGEROUS. You must re-install the table
insert, reassemble all saw components, and
remove all tools before cutting.
