I make my own ZCI's using 1/4" plywood and the slot is cut by raising the blade through the insert. The slot is extended using the router table and a
1/4" bit as seen in the photo. This permits the use of the riving knife and upper saw guide.

Thanks Bill. Did you use anything like formica to cover the top surface? Was the quarter inch ply thick enough?
you solved the thing i noticed with the blade guard/riving knife being a little offset from the saw blade. At least it is unless i tighten the saw blade right up against the lower cover.......

Dusty, thanks for the help. I'll do some more reading and then begin to begin!!

thanks, bill
