The bottom of a SawStop insert is difficult to replicate in a shop made wooden insert. If we limit the application to vertical cuts, and exclude maximum height of the blade, then the insert becomes much simpler, and is suitable for most of the time.
Advantages of wooden inserts are:
1. Zero clearance around the blade.
2. Quick to make and low cost so you can have one for each dado width.
3. Does a better job of keeping dust below the table
Disadvantages of wooden inserts are:
1. The type of blade guard that replaces the riving knife will not work because the slot in the insert would have to be extended to the end of the insert, which would make it too weak. Have to use an overarm blade guard.
2. The insert does not lock into place the way a SawStop insert does.
3. Does not work with blade titled at an angle
