I used the side plate guards and supports that came with the Powermatic. They attach to the upper box that is 4”X16”X2” and all made of Lexan except the 4” tube which is Plexiglas.

The deflector for the zero clearance insert was difficult since I couldn’t see how it was fitting inside the blade shroud. I used a piece of Plexiglas to make the front portion of the insert,

You can only use the deflector with the blade at 0 deg. bevel unless you make one for a special case like I did to make the roof panels for a bird feeder.

I added the internal side and top plates to direct the chips and dust into the pick up. The saels are made from a door sweep.
