Kapex zero clearance insert 3D model

Curious if anyone has made a DXF of a Kapex zero clearance insert. I'd like to cut a few on CNC.

See if this works - a ZIP file of the insert and fence extensions as SVG files.

I put a zero clearance insert in my Dewalt chop saw.  Something must be flexing because the insert has gradually been opening up in width. I don’t know where that is coming from.  The blade?  The spindle?  The up/down motion.  (This is not a sliding saw.)

Maybe that is not an issue with the Kapex.  When I want really clean cuts, I either use my table saw, radial arm saw or my picture framers’ sliding table miter saw (45 degree angle only).

I can put a piece of scrap stock under the part to be cut.  That results in a very clean cut.  But that scrap is “one and done”.  Not worth the effort.
