Another newbie question for the brain-trust! I thought I'd try to make my own ZCI for my 10" Delta X5. I got the tip from Michael Gardner's reply to another question on inserts. Thanks Michael:icon_thum !
So, I bought a cutting board at Walmart (Poly) but when I cut it, there was a bow in the insert. I don't know if the heat from the BS caused it or if it was under stress before the cut. I'm wondering if I bought the right thing:eusa_doh: . Has anyone run into this before?
Also, while trying to lower the blade to cut the slot, I noticed the blade won't go down far enough to allow the insert to sit on the four leveling tabs. The top of the blade is about 1/8" above the tabs. Is there something wrong with my TS? If not, how are you supposed to cut the slot without having the insert shoot out when you turn the saw on? No, I didn't do it, I was too chicken:saw:
Thanks for any assistance on this,
Randy
