Not an exact fit. Be ready to have to cut it down just a bit.

This may need trimming to fit
The plate needed minor trimming to fit the opening. This was easily done with a handplane and it now fits snugly in the opening.

Not a good fit.
Bought this zero clearance insert for my 25+ year Unisaw. Right off it is two wide to fit in opening. It was only about a 1/32 but too tight to fit. Ran it thru saw to clean up dimensions. Length was a little too much so required a file to trim. Then I went to level in slot but a little warped in center so ends sit a little low to compensate, about a 1/16 high in center. Guess future ones will be plywood

buy this for safety!
This is a pain to set up but it is worth the ~$16 for the safety it affords. I can not do cuts that previously would have been unsafe or put me at risk. I recommend that you get one and consider it a means to use your saw safely.

Good if you need several for dado stack
As another critical review mentioned, value is relative. This may be half the cost of a top-notch Leecraft Zero-Clearance Insert, but at only a $15 savings, for me the value just isn't there relative to the overall cost of my table saw setup due to the quality issues and missing features.Repeating the deficiencies others have reported, lack of thumb hole, significant warpage, and loose fit, the biggest nuisance for me was that it wasn't pre-dado'd on the underside for a full-size blade to ease cutting the zero-clearance. Thus, the new insert doesn't sit anywhere near flush with the blade fully lowered.You can either create initial clearance first with a dado or smaller size blade, or do what I did (may not be the safest option): With the blade fully lowered, the ZCI inserted in the back as a pivot, setting the rip fence against the edge of the ZCI to use as a guide, and a miter gauge with fence up against the front edge to control the descent, I slowly pushed the front of the ZCI down onto the spinning blade with a push stick until the blade was completely through and ZCI seated. Then I proceeded to slowly raise the blade to maximum height. I did this before I took out the slop.With all this said, I feel its true value comes into play when you have more than a couple different blades and/or you want to have multiple ZCI's for a dado stack of your common dado widths; you won't need to be spending north of a hundred dollars or more to have this convenient selection available to choose from. Hence, my overall rating of 3 stars...

Great product but.....
This insert fit perfectly in my beloved 10" Delta Unisaw. But for this 10" saw, you need a smaller identical-kerf blade to cut the initial zero-clearance slot safely. I happened to have a suitable 8" blade so this was not a problem for me. If you don't have a suitable smaller blade then beware and be very careful. I used this insert to accommodate the Micro Jig MJ Splitter product, also available on Amazon. This splitter product is the easiest and the best solution I have found anywhere. Very happy with the combination of these two products!

Cheap but not perfect for my saw
I like it because it fits and it is cheap - It fits my Delta II contractor table saw ... well almost it does have a very small amount of slop in it. When I raised the blade through it for a zero clearance 1/4 inch dado stack I found that there were attached ribbons on it that need to be cut out. My blades were fresh out of the package. The leveling screws are good and work fine - was able to get it flat on all corners with my table top with no effort other then finding the correct size allen wrench. The material is nice as it is slippery but not perfect for cutting through. The Leecraft DL-1U Zero Clearance Table Saw Insert for Delta Table Saw insert is a far better fit and a better product in my opinion, but twice the money.
