the lathe turn for the insert is awesome.

Howdy Groove Master! Thank you for your comment. Cheers

As someone who uses lasers & CNC on the reg, the best workshop upgrade I ever made was a pair of digital Vernier calipers.

Howdy CountDoucheula! Good Tip. Thanks

Cip, I have a Grizzly band saw and I cannot buy a zero clearance insert for it. Thanks for this video. I now know how to make a zero clearance insert for my saw!

Nice job I liked your detailed job. I can do my band saw just the same. I sure liked the cutting board idea.

Greeting Paul! Thank you for your comment. I been madding band saw inserts by hand for years. I do not know why I never tried making them on the wood lathe. Anyway it worked for me. Give it a go. Cheers.

I have loved and still love your videos. They are to the point, clear, and informative. Looking forward to the next video. A thought: purchase some round stock rod of the proper dimension, then slice off as needed, Then mount in the lathe, make the tenon, and cut it to thickness. - Annie

Greeting Annie! Last year I only made 4 videos. I am trying hard to average one per month. Thank you for watching. Cheers.

Nicely done. There are all kinds of uses for those cutting boards, from zero-clearance inserts to jigs and sleds. Thanks for sharing.

Howdy Russell! This cutting board plastic worked out well. It is strong, easy to cut. I am glad it is much thicker than the acrylic plastic I was using. Cheers

They make pretty excellent catapult (slingshot for you Yanks out there) frames as well

That is clever using that plastic Júlíus

since you have the luxury of a headstock chuck on your lathe you could remove the mounted insert and test fit it in the bandsaw table. Measuring carefully and cutting to measurement is often hard to do with the need of that perfect thickness fit

Howdy Gary! Certainly, sneaking up on is another good way to do it. I think it was Roy Underhill the said 'measurement is the death of precision' or something like that. Maybe he was quoting someone else, cheers.

Another great video Cip. Thank you. Keep up the great work.

Hello there BlueBoy! I hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for the comment. Kind Regards.

Thanks for the tip Cip, remove the hot glue with alcohol, put a little between the bond and like magic it’s disconnected.

Howdy gA! Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try. My hot glue was cooling too fast. My shop was cold 56 degrees F. I've seen other people preheat with a heat gun for more worktime. I should have tried that. Kind Regards.

Great ideas and thanks for sharing. You can use denatured alcohol by soaking or injecting to remove the hot glue.

Howdy Robert! Thanks for the tip. The plastic releases very cleanly from the hot glue. I will keep you tip in mind. Cheers.

Great idea using the cheap cutting board Cip ! I use the hot glue gun a lot and for removal from the glue chuck, I just place it in the work shop micro wave for a few seconds (obviously making sure there are no nails or screw in it) or simply use a hot air gun . Great project Cip and thanks for sharing Cheers, Bram

Good idea to repurpose that cutting board. I’m going to be looking out for those myself.

Greetings Tom! Thank you for your comment. I've been making these for years for my old band saw. Too much work and too brittle.. It finally dawned on me how simple they are to make on a lathe. The cutting board material seamed idea. I wish I could find a red one. Cheers.

Love that Craftsman bandsaw. Where did you find that light stuck to your bandsaw? I love this video and the rest of your video’s as well. 👍🏻

Howdy Yuyo57! I like this bandsaw. It is a 14". The light is from Harbor Freight Tools, not very expensive. Thank you for watching. Cheers

To make it level have several dots of hot glue under it and push it down while it’s still hot Use a straight edge. Works really well.

Howdy Ralph! Thanks for the tip. Yes, I did have some problems with the hot glue. It was cold in the shop and the glue hardened fast. Not much worktime. I tried one big glob was very crooked. Cheers.

Cip's Wood Chips in cold climates sometimes you can warm the objects with a hair dryer or heat gun before applying hot glue for a longer work time.

Howdy Snellen! Good Idea for next time. I had a problem the hot glue spreading and cooling too quickly. I also want to try hallowing the center slightly to make room for the glue. It should stop spreading when the disc meets the wood of the faceplate. Thanks, splendid ideas. Cheers

I sometimes use saw dust if it is to low. I will try the hot glue though that seems better.
