Replacement Inserts For The SawStop 100-388 Zero Clearance Carrier Plate

Each of these three different inserts directly fits our aluminum Z.C.I. throat plate. They slide into the solid aluminum carrier plate via a dovetailed way, and the saw's throat opening keeps them reliably in place. No tools necessary!

They are sold in packs of three of each type.

The 100-388.DIP is completely blank. It's great for both single blades as well as stacked dado sets.

The 100-388.BG has a rear slot that's meant to allow your saw's overarm blade guard to fit. On initial use, raise your blade all the way up as you cut through the insert, without the blade guard in place, in order to provide proper mounting room. Then be sure to flip the blade guard's anti-kickback prawls into their fully UP position before mounting it and then installing the ZCI carrier and insert plate. Finish the installation by sliding the carrier plate into position after the blade guard has been installed, and lower the anti-kickback prawls as needed.

The 100-388.RK insert allows room for the saw's riving knife to work as it should, behind the saw blade. As before, cut through the insert without the knife installed and raise the blade high on initial setup. Then you will have plenty of clearance for the riving knife to be mounted and then to do its job following your blade during regular use.

Infinity has made the safety and convenience of true zero clearance at your table saw easier than ever!

NOTE:
These inserts are compatible with the older model of Infinity Tools Saw Stop ZCI carrier plates (100-358). But they are not compatible with any other ZCI system.


One Carrier Plate. Infinite Possibilities.

SawStop ZCI 100-388

Our exclusive Zero Clearance Throat Plate System for SawStop cabinet saws is engineered to give you unmatched precision, durability, and flexibility. Whether you're working with thin kerf blades, standard blades, or stacked dados, this system provides a single, reliable solution—no more swapping between multiple insert plates.

At the heart of the system is our CNC-machined carrier plate, crafted from a solid billet of aircraft-grade aluminum and anodized for exceptional wear resistance. The aluminum carrier plate measures 16" long, 4-1/2" wide, and 1/2" thick to perfectly match your saw’s throat opening. It includes micro-adjustable set screws for both horizontal and vertical fine-tuning—ensuring a perfectly flush fit every time.

This premium throat plate replaces your need to purchase and maintain multiple factory inserts. Instead of dedicating separate plates for every blade setup, the Infinity system allows you to simply swap out inserts as needed.

Fits on many SawStop models.

It’s built for a lifetime of use and fits on SawStop's Contractor, Professional and Industrial saw models.

Smart, Tool-Free Insert System

Included in the core package are three melamine-coated MDF inserts, each CNC-machined for accuracy.

These inserts slide in from the front of the plate via a captured dovetail channel—no tools required. Once in place, the insert is secured by the saw’s own throat cavity, giving you a snug, stable, zero-clearance fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What carrier plate do these inserts fit?

They fit the Infinity Tools 100-388 aluminum ZCI throat plate, and they are also compatible with the older 100-358 carrier plate. They are not compatible with any other ZCI system.

What are the three insert styles?

The 100-388.DIP is blank for single and dado blades, the 100-388.RK clears the riving knife, and the 100-388.BG accommodates the overarm blade guard.

How are the inserts sold?

They are sold in packs of three of each type, so you can stock up on the style you use most.

Do I need tools to install the inserts?

No. Each insert slides into the carrier plate through a dovetailed way and is held in place by the saw's throat opening, so installation and swapping require no tools.

Which insert should I use with a dado set?

Use the blank 100-388.DIP insert. It works great for both single blades and stacked dado sets.

How do I set up the blade-guard insert?

On initial use, raise the blade all the way up and cut through the insert without the guard installed. Flip the anti-kickback pawls fully up, mount the guard, then slide the carrier and insert into position and lower the pawls as needed.

How do I set up the riving-knife insert?

Cut through the 100-388.RK insert on first use with the blade raised high and the knife removed. You will then have ample clearance to mount the riving knife so it follows the blade during normal use.

Why keep spare zero-clearance inserts?

Swapping a fresh insert restores tight, splinter-free wood-fiber support around the blade for cleaner, safer cuts. Browse related saw blades and accessories.

Can I buy the carrier plate separately?

Yes. These are replacement inserts for the aluminum ZCI throat plate, which is available in the full kit. See more table saw accessories.

Do these inserts work with the older Infinity ZCI plate?

Yes. They are compatible with the older 100-358 Infinity Tools SawStop ZCI carrier plates, in addition to the current 100-388 plate.
