I had put off working on the New Yankee workbench because I didnt have an insert for my table saw that would work with the dado stack that my wife bought me for Christmas. I saw Steve Ramsey make one for his new table saw so I figured that I would give it a try.

I cut a piece of 1/8" hardboard down to rough size and used some duct tape and hardboard spacers to stick the new insert to the old one. I then used a cut off bit on my router to shape the new insert. Steve double sided taped his stock insert directly to his new one but I was nervous about accidentally hitting the metal with the router bit.
The insert is only rests on the actual table by a small lip at each end.
Of course, one is thicker than the other.
The hardboard was too thick so I used a 1/2" straight cutting bit to cut grooves in the ends.
?I cut one end slightly deeper to fit in the thicker lip.
This end has a shallow bevel coming after the insert.
This side fits snug.
Perfect!
This is the end with the shallower cut. I may have made it a little too deep.
Here is the fit on the stock insert on the side with the shallow bevel.
The stock one sits down a little low too.
Unfortunately, I can only fit 1/2" of my 13/16" dado stack in the table saw. That is all that the arbor will safely hold.
I dont have any kinds of clips figured out yet so I held the insert down with the rip fence and a scrap piece of wood so that I could raise the spinning blade into the insert.
I made my first rabbet with my new dado stack!

New dado insert for my Skil 3410 table saw
I recently wrote an post on making a zero clearance insert plate for my table saw. The main reason that I made that insert was because I could not find a dado insert made for my table saw. I did some more searching and finally found one on eReplacementParts.com. In the description it gave the model number for the part it was replacing. I then took that model number and plugged it into the search on the Skil site and was able to find the OEM part! It did not give a picture and only gave a description of "Dado Insert Kit for 3410 Table Saw". The after market website had a small picture that showed a nut and washer so I was cautiously optimistic that this one would come with one too. It turns out that it did come with a new washer/nut combo for the arbor that is slimmer and I can now install my full dado stack!

Heres the pic from the after market website.
I felt like a kid on Christmas when it finally got here.
That was a pretty big box just to ship this little one but it
got here safe! Out of the box.
No question about it, its made for my table saw!
Here it is with a nut/washer combo and another washer that replaces
the one on the other side of the blade.Heres all my inserts.
This is the zero clearance insert that I made.
Here is the new one installed with a 1/2" dado stack. There is plenty of room
to fit in the whole 13/16" stack!Here is the old washer/nut combo next to the new one.
