ZCI for vintage Craftsman 113.298341 #1: Time to replace the first go at it.
I have an old Craftsman with a funky insert. It’s aluminum ( I used to think steel) about 3/32” thick and “D” shaped. I have not found any one anywhere that makes a compatible insert that I can buy. The lip on the insert is so thin that conventional insert instructions just won’t hack it. I took some acrylic and made an attempt at a ZCI: and it worked for a while but was a bear to make. The acrylic is starting to crack and I’ve hacked away some of the edges of the clearance so it’s not really so much zero anymore… So I took out the old insert that came with the saw and looked again at making an insert for the insert.First I got some...
