This kerf plate replaces the standard unit fitted to the AT254TS table saw and is used when the blade is at 0° only. It sits extremely closely (0.5mm) to the blade, so that when cutting very small items or taking a thin slice from a board, the waste wood will not drop beneath the table. It also helps support smaller work, allowing fine cuts to be made.
Supplied uncut, you simply fit the kerf plate with the saw blade fully retracted, start the machine and very slowly raise the blade through the plate, cutting a slot that fits the blade perfectly. Being aluminium, it will not damage the saw blade. It is secured to the table with just one screw so is easy to change, and has 4 levelling grub screws to align the plate precisely to the table surface.
