Ridgid TS3660 Dado throat plate - Woodworking Talk

smanfre · 02-03-2009, 01:35 PM

Anyone know the part number for the dado throat plate for the ts3660 ridgid table saw? I cannot find the part number on ridgidparts.com only the standard throat plate. I guess I will call the 800 number if all else fails.

Thanks,
Shane

I have a Griz but I make my own inserts. I use MDF but plywood would work well too. I double stick tape the original insert to the MDF, cut it fairly closewith the bandsaw then trim to size with a pattern bit on the router table. I also put in 4 flat head screws to adjust for level.

Page 48 of the user manual lists the follwing throat plates as acessories with the parts numbers here:

AC1040 Molding/Dado Throat Plate

AC1045 Zero Clearance Throat Plate

Hope that helps

I have a Delta TS, but also make my own. I buy the white plastic cutting boards in the kitchen section of Walmart. It is about .5" thick, slick as grease, tough and cheap. Follow Johnv51's procedure.
Of course, MDF is even cheaper. I have cutoffs of that laying around.

yourself.
