Dewalt Table Saw Dado Throat Plate

thingiverse

I bought a Dewalt 7491 Table Saw last week and have been having a blast with it. This is a dado throat plate required to install/use a dado blade. The dimensions were designed loosely off the standard Dewalt throat plate, minus the locking mechanism. I may add that at some point, but it's really not that important. Instead, I added a little piece of velcro to the inside of the opening which holds either plate in place nicely. Print Settings Printer: Voron/Ultimaker Hybrid (DIY) Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .40 Infill: 25% Notes: This should print equally well with PLA or ABS, but I would recommend ABS since most people keep their saws in garage's and workshops that may not always stay cool. PLA can disfigure in relatively low heat. There's a few overhangs, but they aren't severe and should not require supports. In fact, enabling supports may interfere with the tongue and groove. Post-Printing Given the dimensions, most people will need to print this as two pieces and join them. I printed mine using ABS, and joined them with a slurry of acetone and a few drops of super glue. I'm not 100% confident in the bond, so if you have better luck with something else, I'd love to hear about it. The yellow one from the pictures (an early prototype) was printed in PLA and bonded with Locktite Ultragel. So far it's held, but also feels brittle. One added benefit of the join line is that it can be used to easily find the apex of the blade.
