I have replaced made a throat plate for my very big bandsaw as needs arose.
It is a little time consuming but not really difficult.So easy does it, is the byword slicing grinding a little at a time until it fits perfectly.Actually mine is square and deep about two inches by two inches by about one inch thick and goes into a slightly rough tapered hole.The smaller bandsaws just get turned on the lathe till they fit perfectly and install.I have no such plate on my sliding saw as the table comes right up to almost meet the blade and is completely exposed when using ,it looks a bit frightening but all is covered within by a hinged door so safe really.Have fun Alistair
