Very easy to setup and install, just be sure your blade is properly sharpened and square to table top and you are good to go. I put my fence over the insert and then clamped a couple boards to hold the insert in place as I raised the blade. Table saw is a 1968 10" Rockwell/Delta contractors model 34-400.

I wasn't sure what to expect - would it be red like in the product photo, or yellow like some reviewers had received; would it be particle board with laminate or some odd ply/plastic combo; would the pre-cut pocket be in the right place; would it even fit my saw?

The woodgrain was unexpected, but a classy touch. What was the most surprising was how dense and heavy this thing is. It's not ply, it's phenolic plastic. HARD stuff. I think it's the same stuff they make billiards balls out of? I like the pre-cut pockets on the underside. Even with my blade all the way lowered into the cabinet, it needed that pocket space (see photo).

I followed the instructions as directed, first adjusting the leveling with the table surface and side/front adjustment screws, and then took it slow bringing the blade up through the insert and my clamped scrap 2x4. Good thing too - in fact, as I raised the blade and made some cuts, I lowered it again to allow cooling as it did smoke. I have a very sharp carbide toothed CMT blade that chews through hard maple like butter, but it smoked going through this insert. The dust collector pulled it away, but I did need to open the garage door to air the place out.

One thing I wished I had done before cutting is verifying that my blade was at a true 90 degree angle. It was off by less than half a degree when I cut it. So after I thought of it and set it back to exactly 90 degrees, it rubs a little on the cutout. I think it'll wear itself down after a while, but it doesn't seem to want to re-cut that little but when I send the blade back through. The difference is about 1/32nd of an inch, so not a huge deal.

This is a much more solid option than the pine, baltic birch and MDF inserts I've made on my own over the years. I like this so much that I ordered a few more so that I can have one for 45 degree bevels and a couple of different dado stack widths.

Fits Delta left tilt 10" contractor table saw that I purchase from Lowes. The old inset was metal and snapped, the insert is no longer available from Delta. This fit perfect, I will be ordering more to use for different setup's. The price is better then local mill supply. You can find replacement metal insets on ebay but the prices are ridiculous.

Insert fit my saw beautifully and was easy to set up for it's intended use. The only issue I have is that the top layer chipped out as the saw blade was raised through it. Hoping this won't effect the longevity of the insert. For now, it works well, as intended.

Arrived on time. Packing was over kill, but I'm ok with that. Came with clear instructions. I dropped it in, leveled it with the four installed screws. Then I set the side to side screw followed by the front to back screw. Tomorrow I will make the thin kerf initial cut. My 2nd or 3rd hand Delta 36-640 contractor saw table did not come with a riffing knife, blade guard or splitter (replacement parts are also discontinued). I may have found a suitable substitution riffing knife so with safety in mind this is a huge step forward for me. Some projects will have to wait until I get the riffing knife / splitter issue resolved (no ripping). I would recommend this item, it is high quality. Now it is Jun 2018 and I'm buying another for a full kerf blade as the original one I purchased has not a flaw with it in all this time - I have cut yellow/purple heart, plywood, walnut, maple and pine and not once has it failed me or has it even moved. For my saw the fit is a hair past snug - so it has never moved, wobbled or lifted even after I installed the micro jig splitters on it. Item is a bit pricey but the performance for me is well worth it.
