New dado insert for my Skil 3410 table saw

I recently wrote an post on making a zero clearance insert plate for my table saw.  The main reason that I made that insert was because I could not find a dado insert made for my table saw.  I did some more searching and finally found one on eReplacementParts.com.  In the description it gave the model number for the part it was replacing.  I then took that model number and plugged it into the search on the Skil site and was able to find the OEM part!  It did not give a picture and only gave a description of "Dado Insert Kit for 3410 Table Saw".  The after market website had a small picture that showed a nut and washer so I was cautiously optimistic that this one would come with one too.  It turns out that it did come with a new washer/nut combo for the arbor that is slimmer and I can now install my full dado stack!

Heres the pic from the after market website.
 

I felt like a kid on Christmas when it finally got here.
 
That was a pretty big box just to ship this little one but it
got here safe!

 Out of the box.
 
No question about it, its made for my table saw!

Here it is with a nut/washer combo and another washer that replaces
the one on the other side of the blade.

Heres all my inserts.

This is the zero clearance insert that I made.


Here is the new one installed with a 1/2" dado stack.  There is plenty of room
to fit in the whole 13/16" stack!


Here is the old washer/nut combo next to the new one.
