Table Saw Throat Plate Fix
4DThinker posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
The throat plate on my table saw is unsupported on the end next to the blade opening, and flexes down when I'm cutting narrow strips. The strips often catch on the table lip which had been a nagging and dangerous problem since I bought the saw. Today I set out to either fix that problem or put the table saw on facebook market to to get rid of it. There is a blade housing edge below this area. I measured how thick it was, how far below the table surface it was, and how thick the throat plate was at the spot. I cut a slot the bottom end of a 1" wood dowel to slip over the blade housing, and stood it up to support the throat plate. I got lucky on my first try and for now will be keeping this saw. Wish I'd gotten to this 10 year ago though. 4D
