Suggestions?

Might I suggest cutting the slot with an 8 in or similar blade?  This
should cut it enough of the insert, then put in the blade that you want to
use and raise the blade to the position you need.

	The way I do it:  Lock the rip fence even with the right edge of the
old insert.  Place the new insert on top, clamp a block of wood to hold
it down, and another in front to keep it from walking.  Raise the blade
and there you have it.
