Bandsaw Table Insert

Agazzani makes high-quality industrial bandsaws in Italy. But when the table inserts (also called throat plates) get damaged or lost it can be hard to find replacement parts, especially dealing with international shipping.

Eagle Tools gave me an aluminum one and asked if I could make a replacement version in plastic. I told them I thought I could machine an aluminum version, but they said they'd prefer stiff plastic so if the blade nicks it the blade is not damaged.

The original had M5 set screws for precisely adjusting the height/level from the top, so I tapped this to fit the same screws and they work perfectly.

I originally printed this in ASA, but Eagle asked for a few more so I also printed some in NylonX and PC. I assume would also work fine in PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, etc.
