Zero Clearance Insert for Craftsman 137 (218072) 10" job site table saw

thingiverse

Model for a zero clearance insert for a craftsman 137 job site table saw, designed to fit perfectly in place without any clearance issues. I created this insert because I couldn't find one that matched my dado stack requirements; the manual listed one option, but it was not available for purchase. To make up for this lack, I crafted my own using a CNC router. Alternatively, you can 3D print this design if your printer has sufficient size and capabilities. However, keep in mind that some fine-tuning might be necessary to achieve precise fitment. To ensure accurate alignment, I carefully chiseled out a few sections where the corner radii didn't quite match up - cut using an 1/8" end mill. The result is an insert with sharp internal corners and no need for additional adjustments. I added a tab at the back to secure the insert in place; although it's not strictly necessary, I thought it was a good idea to prevent any potential shifting or movement during use. For the dado stack, I omitted the hole required for the blade and riving knife. Instead, I allowed the stack to cut through independently, reducing the risk of damage or misalignment.
