FastCap Miter Saw 5-Pc. Zero Clearance Insert Tape

Regular price $7.90

Miter Saws are shipped with a standard throat plate that allows for dangerous kickback and less than great quality cuts. If you want to get the most from your Miter Saw you need to have "Zero Clearance" between your saw blade and the throat plate. The Zero Clearance Insert supports your workpiece at the edge of the cut and helps to eliminate unsightly blowout and dangerous kick back.

This innovative Z.C.I. tape from FastCap works with ANY Miter Saw and is a quick way to get you better quality and safer cuts. Made from durable PVC, simply peel back the strong adhesive and apply over the throat of any standard miter saw opening. You get 5 individual Z.C.I. strips with this handy pack, we recommend having plenty in the shop so you're never caught without!

Frequently Asked Questions

How many strips come in a pack?

Each pack includes 5 individual Zero Clearance Insert strips, so you have replacements ready as they wear.

Will this tape fit my miter saw?

What is a zero-clearance insert and why do I need one?

A zero-clearance insert closes the gap between the blade and throat plate so the workpiece is supported right at the cut. This eliminates blowout and helps prevent dangerous kickback.

What is the tape made of?

It is made from durable PVC with a strong adhesive backing, so it holds firmly to the throat area during use.

How do I install it?

Simply peel back the adhesive backing and apply the strip over the throat opening of your miter saw. No tools or modifications are required.

Does it really reduce tear-out?

Yes. By supporting the workpiece at the edge of the cut, the insert helps eliminate unsightly blowout, giving you cleaner, higher-quality cuts.

How often will I need to replace it?

The insert tape is a wear item that the blade cuts through over time. FastCap recommends keeping plenty on hand so you always have a fresh strip available.

Who makes this zero clearance insert tape?

It is made by FastCap, a brand known for practical, time-saving woodworking shop accessories.

Does the right blade also affect cut quality?

Yes. A clean, sharp blade paired with a zero-clearance insert produces the best results. Browse our saw blades & accessories for the ideal match.

What else helps me get accurate miter cuts?

Accurate layout is key. Combine the insert tape with quality measuring & layout tools for precise, repeatable cuts.
