Not the best, but works
I use it, it works. I'll soon make my own zero clearance dado inserts, instead of using this. I didn't have any problems with rubbing, as some claimed. I have it on the 4000 Bosch Table saw. The trick to getting larger stacks onto this saw is to, and this is from Bosch, remove the inner and outer washers on the arbor. Then use the outer, thinner one, as the inner washer. Use the inner, thicker tapered one, as needed. If you can't get the nut completely on the treads, remove the outer washer and just use the nut. Bosch states that this is not needed on dado stacks, but I have to admit it makes me a bit nervous. I do it all the time though without problems.
The finish on this insert was seemingly hand painted, as in brushed. Perhaps the metal was not finely sanded prior to painting, but it has a lesser quality apperance than the original insert. Mine is not flat, but isn't too bad if I press down firmly.
I would just make my own next time, and will soon replace this with home made inserts.
Happy wood working.
Dado Insert
Easy to install and remove. It actually fits and it's as advertised. Great deal and price.
it's a dado insert
It's like the normal insert but for a dado blade. Not much to say or rate about. It holds just fine. I like that it's plastic because I have, in the past, had to cut a larger slot into my table saw inserts for more advanced cuts.
Better instructions should be written for this insert.
I've had my Bosch table saw for a little over 3 years and use it every week in my carpentry business. It has yet to disappoint me. Up until now I had not purchased the dado insert because of some of the poor reviews. I had made my own insert and have put up with the struggle of using it all this time (I had to screw it in each time and place washers underneath to make it flush). After my last frustrating effort with my homemade insert, I decided that at $13, Bosch's dado insert couldn't be any more frustrating than using my own homemade one. Boy had I been wrong (and the reviewers that I had listened to). It took almost nothing to snap it in and adjust it to level. Those are the ONLY instructions that come with it - in three languages. Woohoo! The hitch came when I needed to cut a wide dado. This is where the additional instructions would have been helpful (and would have kept some of the reviewers from giving it low marks). On a wider stack you will need to remove the inner arbor washer and replace it with the outer washer, then put on your stack of blades. I would rate this 5 stars if they would only give you this small, but important, bit of info with the package. Even the instruction book that comes with the saw when it mentions working with dado or molding heads doesn't tell you this. All it says is, "Instructions for operating the Dado and Molding Heads are contained in the booklet furnished with these accessories. ALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE TABLE INSERT LISTED UNDER ACCESSORIES." Hmmmm, neither set of instructions tells you anything about swapping out the arbor washers. Fortunately I was able to figure this on my own. I wish now I had been using this from the get go and had not been influenced by negative reviews for so long.
As Advertized 
I am looking forward to using this made for the machine part. I had nothing to prove to anybody by trying to make something that would do the job as well.
