You need to use a zero clearance insert. Kevin suggested a playing card which works well. I have also used regular card board ( pop case )but what worked best for me was a piece of 1/8 inch hardboard cut to fit the table top of my saw. It's smooth as piece slide freely on it. And when the blade hole area gets worn out, just cut another insert for it.

tried the packing tape that helped some. I'll try some of the other suggestions. Thanks. I think your right though it needs to be zero clearance with the table just have to figure the best way.

No the problem is the large hole in the center is covered with a plastic plate which is not level with the table. When I run small projects on there the project tilts a few degrees and doesn't run properly. No problems with tension or blade size.

I collect those magnetic cards businesses give out and want you to place on the refrig door.  They work great if you have a table top a magnet will stick to.

I love your idea ! I find those magnetic signs in the road often enough! :)

I use a small ( 8 x 10 ) plexiglass sheet that I got at Lowes for $3.  I put several 1/8 inch rare earth magnets in the plexi sheet and made a hole in the center for the blade... this has served me well for well over 3 years now.

I had a craftsman with a plastic throat plate that drove me crazy until I took a piece of 1/8" plywood, traced the table of the saw on it, cut it out , put a 1/4" hole in it for the blade and glued it to the table. Roughed up the surface of the table with 100 grit and clamped the plywood real good until it dried and it worked excellent. No more problems with fragile cuts.

See next post...

 

I was totally lost until the 10th post.

So the hole in the center of the table is too large.

Simple:

* Clamp a 1/16 drill bit in saw blade clamps.

*Tape the bottom of the hole shut.

*Mix up some plaster and pour it in.

*Tape playing card on top.

* turn saw on slowest speed until plaster hardens......

Let me know, seems like this is as good as a Ace of Hearts, cardboard box, fridg magnets and packing tape

Lets see. :|:D:o:?:x:huh::oops:   :lol::razz:
