I read on your WOOD Online® (woodmagazine.com) forum groups about homemade zero-clearance tablesaw inserts sent flying when caught by the blade. To prevent this, attach a safety tongue to the outfeed end of the insert as shown below. Tip the insert so the tongue catches under the saw table and drop the insert in place.
