I'm replacing a Craftsman insert which is 11 3/4" by 8 1/3". Can the Rouseau insert be made to fit?

Charles, I see $41.95 as the current price, which is still a good deal. I caught them for $26 several months ago, that is one reason that I purchased two. I would have paid 42 if necessary, just saying. I am not a pro wood worker, just do it for the enjoyment, not rich either, try to get the best use of cost for this hobby. Oh, I got the Rockwell jaw horse from A. A very good investment. I am using it with auxiliary runners to hold chair leg blanks to route mortise joints. The runners are to give the router base a sturdy place to ride. I have a few more tips if you are interested. Rocketbob

I would think so, if your table top is wood. Metal or aluminum would be harder to do. The Rousseau is, as you see, 9"x12". You could easily and affordably make a new one with 3/4" ply, add a Formica cover of your choice of color or just clear coat it. The Rousseau is the most affordable insert that I have seen, I got 2 at the Amazon price, one to just have if I want to change my setup or have 2 router tables. you might could cut the R insert down to fit, I would not. It has screw holes in the corners to house mounting tabs, I don't use those, but I wouldn't saw the corners off ether. Charles, I am more than satisfied with the R insert. I use a 2.25 hp Craftsman plunge router, take the plunge springs out, store them. Don't fasten the plate to the table, the weight of the router will hold it down. Take the knobs or handles off if you are going to leave it in the table. Use one of the handle cap screws to tighten the shaft down if you don't trust the plunge lock to stay in place, works great with just a little more effort. Throw away those adjustable fences, make your own from wood or plastics, use c or small adjustable clamps on both ends. Try the fence cross ways on table instead of length wise, much better. One more, you don't need a miter gauge track, use blocks of scrap wood for push tools. Make your own bit guard with clear acrylic, hot melt a small aa cell led flash light on the guard to illuminate the bit work site. Maybe you will like this approach, I do, it makes routing easier and more fun. The more simple it is, the more you will want to use the tool. these are not my personal discoveries, I found them online and in magazines. I hope this help. Rocketbob

If you are asking if Rousseau insert can be trimmed to fit in smaller opening I would say NO. I don't think it would be easy to modify without running the risk of damaging it. A better alternative would be to re rout table top to accept Rousseau insert.

I had difficulty drilling it, ruined one, succeeded on the second. It chipped rather easily, and needed pilot holes.

No, this will not work, because they are different sizes. However, Leecraft sells another insert for your model. You can also type a search "Ridgid 4510 TS insert" into either the Amazon search or your web browser's search to obtain more results. Good luck.Ridgid R4510 Table Saw Zero-Clearance Dado Insert RG-4

Must be compatible with the expand it connection. Not sure if craftsman is.

If you cross reference your current craftsman blade with the oregon blade that will let you know. Other than that I woyld not know the answer.

Yes. But, make sure to expand the top of the insert before installing it or it will screw in too deep.

I am not sure about the large version, I bought the small version and I have the v shaped insert at the bottom, maybe contact the seller to clarify.

it should, i don't why they would have changed the insert dimensions. But don't quote me on that

The Nova chuck is probably 11/2X8 thread, so you will need 11/2" to 11/4" insert.

Mine is a golden anniversary 46 inch cut and it fit like a glove. Looks exactly like the one craftsman was showing yet much cheaper on amazon.

The Kreg PRS3034 is pre-drilled for the Triton router. Kreg makes an insert with all the same dimensions that is not pre-drilled and might well fit your Craftsman depending on the overall router size.

I have a 54" craftsman with the larger seat, I believe the seat is 16" x 16" and it fits perfectly.

You have to buy an insert for it to fit the 1" x 8tpi. Below is the link: http://www.amazon.com/8TPI-INSERT-NOVA-CHUCKS-Common/dp/B003A0B72M/ref=pd_sim_hi_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=15RQ8PZG2RQZVQ2QR1JK

You may have to heat the insert piece with a blow dryer until it is soft enough to press together to make it fit tight. Had to do this for cold steel recon scout, took about two minutes.

I don't think so. Your saw probably will use the Leecraft Model #RG-2 insert.

It's hard to tell from the craftsman parts list but it looks like it might. Some of the Craftsman/Poulan parts are interchangeable.

As R. Lofoed stated it will should fit. I have a Craftsman 21833 and it fit and functions great. If you have any doubts or questions, visit incra.com or incrementaltools.com. I have asked them a few questions and they are quick to respond and know their products.

My lathe can handle stock up to 11.5" diameter, so I would say it should work well with your lathe. However, it did not come with an insert/adapter- I was told that had to be purchased separately, and my lathe required an insert that was 3/4" x 10TPI. Found it through Steelex on Amazon, it was very inexpensive and the insert came with the screws. Most likely Steelex will have the insert/adapter that you need as well, if you don't already have one.
