I purchased the metal version and am very satisfied with it. Excellent fit and function. Locking and leveling hardware work perfectly.

It's a good throat plate, fits directly into my DeWalt table saw.

This is the one to buy! I returned the cheapplastic ones. They vibrate an ultimately were dangerous. This is heavy aluminum and stays in place. You can find out if your saw is type 2 by looking on the information sticker on the side. I bought my saw in March 2025 and it is type 2. I have I recommend this product. I didn’t have any problem with the inner liner being in the way. Once I tucked it down, it’s fine.

The plate is definitely built heavier than the original plate that came with my dewalt saw I bought this saw new in march 2025 model 7491, two things to keep in mind is you will need to run a tap through the screw adjusting holes before you try and adjust the Plate because of the paint, the tap you need is a M4 x 0.7 to clean up the treads , the other thing is how the plate sets down on the table the fabric on the left side under the plate needs to be pushed down and to the side a little bit, see photos

I'm hoping this review is on the aluminum version. I originally purchased the plastic plate. Huge error. The plastic version didn't fit well and it is overly flexible which creates dado cut depths that aren't uniform. Buy the aluminum version.Far superior. I still needed to make adjustments on the casting to get a good fit. It needed to have a reinforcing "rib" on underside reduced so the plate could lay flat on the saw table. This process took about ten minutes with a hand file.Works well after minor adjustments.

Plate rides up above the saw table, is very loose/wobbly (DWE 7491). The locking mechanism does not help.Not sure how to fix

it took me a while to figure out to see which cover would fit best and finally found the correct one.
