I found a zero clearance insert on amazon for $30, which has 61 reviews at 5 stars.
I found a Irving knife on "shark guard" website for $40 which is the standard thickness at .105
So far she is coming together slowly but surely. I still need to resurface the top. They had tape all over it. Any suggestions for resurfacing? I heard 320 grit sandpaper and steel wool.

Thanks gentleman
