I had a couple small cut off strips get past the blade insert on my Grizzly 623 slider and get stuck in the hose under the blade today. Seems like that is not uncommon to slider owners, and I got out my little grabber to get them, but they just went deeper.
So, I found a 3' strip of wood 1/2" wide, and 1/16" thick in the pile. Just strong enough to not break, and flexible enough to bend while fishing. Wrapped some masking tape sticky side out around the end, and presto, it stuck long enough to get the strips out without even removing the blade.
Dirt cheap and reusable.
PS: Yeah, a zero clearance insert would be nice. Someday.
