Product size shown above is incorrect. [Posted on 2005-11-03]
I wasn't sure I was ordering the right insert based on the product dimensions show above. But the insert is the correct size and the dimensions shown above are incorrect.

Actual size of this insert (Model 34-264) is 13.375" X 3.75"

Works great [Posted on 2006-02-20]
I finally broke down and bought the dado insert. Packaging was a bit of overkill. It arrived in a box big enough for boots! I have used my dado blade set several times without the insert and finally ordered one. I had ordered another tool from Amazon and added this to the list. I actually got it for $4.00 because I order it when Amazon offered $25.00 off a purchase of $125.00. I would recommend adding this to your shopping list when Amazon is offering promotions. It works great and the leveling screws work flawlessly. I would like the insert to come with a mounting screw like the one on the regular insert that came with the saw. It fits perfect in the slot and has a nice weight to it. I have a Delta 36-675 with T2 fence. (Upgraded to a bigger Biesemeyer fence in mid 2006 or so.)

Four stars because it costs too much and doesn't have a mounting screw. I am glad I didn't get hurt using my saw without one.

Delta Dado Insert [Posted on 2007-01-12]
The size of the insert fits well with my table saw. However, there is no effective way to secure the insert to keep it from vibrating or moving a bit while in use. This is a design flaw that could be corrected by providing an anchor screw like those available for the regular blade insert.

For Right-Tilt Contractor's Saws Only [Posted on 2007-09-26]
I bought this because the item description made me think it would fit all contractor's saws and right-tilt Unisaws. (I'm new to woodworking, so I didn't realize that wouldn't make much sense.) Be aware, this insert only fits older, right-tilt Delta contractor's saws. It does not fit the new left-tilt models.

So, I don't really have a complaint about this item. It just didn't fit my saw. It looked like it would serve the purpose it was made for, however, I found that buying a zero-clearance insert and making a zero-clearance dado plate was the best way to go for both price and performance.

Poorly Listed [Posted on 2007-12-18]
I'm sure this throat plate is fine for the correct saw, but Amazon has poor lableing. I had to return it. Listing it as the insert for 'Delta Contractors Saws' is an error. It fits right-tilt contractors saws, not left tilt. The left-tilt contractors saw throat plate is listed as the one for left-tilt Delta Unisaw, but is the right item for their left tilt contractors saw as well.
