Getting ready to make some new projects and needed a zero clearance insert for my saw. Ripped some 3/16 hard board to width then cut to length. Used a jigsaw to rough in the curves then hand sanded to fit. Found out I really need a 12” disc sander the hard way today. I added a strip of 3/4” pine that was about 2” thick for some added strength. Recessed all the screw holes. Only thing not done was the finger hole as my dad is bring me a drill press this weekend. Pretty happy with it.

very nice. I have the same craftsman saw and made the same insert. I need to add an additional support like you did. I noticed when ripping thin stock, the hardboard flexes a bit close to the blade.
