Dimensions for Delta bandsaw table insert?

The shop-gnomes have apparently decided that they wanted the aluminum disk that goes around the blade in my Delta (well, Rockwell) 14" bandsaw. I never looked closely at it, because, well, I didn't know it'd go missing so I had no reason to. I can wing it, but does anyone have dimensions and/or a drawing that they could send me, so I can make one right the first time? Alternately, if there's a source of something better (how could it be better? I dunno, I'm asking) I'm open to that as well.

Thanks, Dave Hinz

It's here for $9.45 if you are not like me and can stand to buy something instead of make it:

Ah, thanks, I'll take a look. As you guessed though, more fun to make it myself. Too bad the garbage went out, I'm sure it's in the sweepings. Ah well.

Dave, I made several plywood zero-clearance inserts for a chinese 14" bandsaw. IIRC, I started with 1/4" plywood and cut it in the appropriate sized circle; then I carefully routed a lip around the edge so that it would sit flush. I made these in order to get zero clearance, not because I didn't have the original -- it's very nice not to have small bits binding up between the insert and the blade!

Done, thanks. They (boggle!) don't have a website.

Not yet. There are rumors that they will soon. The catalog is AWESOME!

232 pages, and it reads like a book! It's a must for bandsaw owners. Tips on tuning, comparisons of Delta vs Jet. It even has a showdown between the 1942 Delta 14" vs the 28-206 14" made in China, etc.
