Abstract: A new wood notching system for cutting grooves into wood before the wood is to be cut by a saw. The inventive device includes an elongated throat plate positioned within an elongated opening in a table top saw. The throat plate has a large slotted aperture and a small slotted aperture therethrough. The large slotted aperture receives a saw blade of the table top saw therethrough. A scoring knife is adjustably received within the small slotted aperture of the throat plate. The scoring knife is adjustable in an up and down orientation and a side to side orientation. The scoring knife has a sharpened upper edge and an aperture through a lower portion thereof.
