Anyone know what saw this is for?

Found this dado throat plate in the box o’ stuff that came with my shopsmith. Obviously not for the SS. Kinda looks like a Delta but as you can see it’s really beefy engineered lumber material and has a number of adjustment screws all around. Feels very heavy and well made.

Would love to give it a new home to someone who could find it useful.

looks like it could be used with a dado set.

Definitely not Shopsmith, but you knew that.

As for the adjustment screws, I retrofitted my Shopsmith throat plate to include adjustable Allen screws. Helps with leveling.

Yes it is definitely a dado insert, as stated in my first sentence [emoji6]. Trying to figure out what Brand/Model this is from as the person I bought my SS from was a divorced wife that just chucked a bunch of her husbands woodworking stuff he left in a box.

Sweet idea! I’ve always wanted to get a tap and die set...maybe I’ll finally splurge on when soon. What set do you recommend?

It looks like after market Powermatic to me. I will have to measure my inserts to be sure.

I got a cheap set from Harbor Freight. Fine for occasional use, which is all mine get.

Copy that, thanks

Just do not expect the resultant tapped holes or rods to fit standard screws and nuts.

I have only used a few of the taps and dies but those I've used have worked with standard screws and nuts.
