How to Replace the Throat Plate on a DeWALT Table Saw

Throat plate for DeWALT table saw

The throat plate is a removable piece of the saw table that allows you access to the blade. The throat plate is made of aluminum and includes leveling screws and a lock-knob. Common issues with the throat plate are damage caused by dropping it, or from a bad kickback. A broken lock-knob is also common. Replacing the throat plate is simple to do, but properly adjusting it can be a little more difficult. This article will describe the adjustment process as well.

Let's get started.

a. Disengage the guard lever.

b. Rotate and lift the guard assembly away from the saw.

b. Place a combination square (or a straight-edge) across both the throat plate and the table.
