Leecraft RG-1 Zero Clearance Table Saw Insert for Ridgid TS3650 Table Saw

The ZCI is super nice, fits snug after adjustments, and had great instructions on installation. Fits perfectly on my TS3650!

I had attempted to make one myself. After purchasing this, I'll never make another. Perfect fit. Minor height adjustment took 2mins. I bought another one for my miter saw. Great buy!

This is a high quality table saw insert and worth the price. The insert is rigid (stiff) and flat and fits my Ridgid TS3650 perfectly. Using a zero clearance insert which you cut by raising your saw blade up through the insert is the only way to guarantee perfect alignment and tight gaps between insert and blade. These tight gaps prevent little wood pieces from entering the gaps and flinging dangerously around. I also like the adjusting screw on the side and at one end to take up any "slop".Just be sure to SECURELY hold the new insert down when first cutting the slot. I used two pieces of lumber clamped to the saw bed.

Works great! It's not held down by the screw in the front like the metal one, it's just held down by gravity. It has 4 leveling screws in the corners

The insert is built sturdily. Make sure the insert is aligned properly in the table. Adjusting the screws is a little aggravating and you need a Philips screwdriver with a good handle. Once the insert is aligned with the table follow the instructions and you'll get your zero clearance insert. I also used one for a dado insert. Well built and should last as long as the saw.

They fit my saw nicely and are very flat on the top, I have several cut for specific purposes and it’s very easy to change them out.

I have looked everywhere for a zero clearance throat plate for my Rigid table saw. This one works perfectly.

Like a previous reviewer stated, the RG1 won't fit the Ridgid 2400 jobsite table saw without some gentle modification. Can't count this as a negative against the unit since it's not *meant* to fit this saw in the first place. Namely, it's about 1/16" too long, and too thick to fit perfectly out of the bag. Nothing a little time with a belt sander can't fix - and doing so does absolutely no 'damage' to the insert whatsoever, since is just a heavy solid slab of industrial plastic anyway. I used a Ridgid belt sander with 50 grit paper, set upside down on the saw table - which worked perfectly, since this sander is fairly stable upside down with the dust bag attached. About 15 minutes of fine-tuning is all it took for a perfect fit.However, that only solved part of the problem. Like a different reviewer mentioned, I also didn't want to rely solely on the friction-fit screws in the side of the insert plate to hold it in place, so I drilled & countersunk a hole to use the 2400's existing panhead screw to hold it in place, along with the friction screw on the side. The problem this reveals is that the tab at the back of the insert is tiny and not in the right place to do any good when it slides into the table saw opening - it doesn't hold the insert down, snug and flat against the surface of the table the way that the factory insert does. So to solve this I performed another quick modification: drilled a hole in the edge of the insert, right above the little tab, and took the friction screw from the other end of the insert (which was no longer needed since I drilled that hole through the insert at that end). I screwed that screw about halfway into this new hole above the tab, then with a file filed it flat in the horizontal plane, going down just into the threads. Now when I slide the insert into position, the flat-topped screw acts like a large tab that's in the correct position, and it holds the rear of the insert down completely flat and flush with the table surface. It sounds like a lot more work than it really is, only takes 5 minutes. Note that if you *don't* use the table saw's factory screw that holds down the front (near you) end of the factory insert, you probably don't need to make this modification I described. I just did it because I didn't want to take any chances with just the 2 Leecraft factory friction-fit screws on the edges holding the thing in place without vibrating loose.It only took about 2 rips to see the big difference this plate makes compared to the factory plate - way lest dust and splinters flying in your face. (Blade guard? What blade guard?) Definitely worth the cost, and the extra effort it takes to get it to fit the 2400 table saw.
