In Response To: Re: Tools: Thin Kerf Blade? (JohnAbercrombie)

I have a Unisaw, and I make 0-clearance inserts from 1/2" baltic birch, and I normally drill and tap holes in the "corners" for adding set screws for adjustment to be sure that the inserts are perfectly flush. For most of them I also back out the area under the blade to accommodate the blade stiffeners by setting up my stacked dado to cut 3/4 wide, and and setting the insert on the blade area with the blade all the way down (I use scrap clamped to the table and the fence to locate it) and I gently raise the blade to nibble out material from the underside of the insert until I'm almost to the top. Not a problem!
