The pin you may be talkking about is to keep the table flush with each
other (it is split where the pin is?). Also, I used tape as shim to
make my zero clearance plate fit.

...so the table stays flat on that side.

Aligns the split cast iron table top. As others have said, no big deal
to remove and replace for blade changing. Some pins are attached with
a short length of light chain so they don't 'walk away'. Folla?

THAT explains why I always thought of Larrykins as "Hindmost".
keeps the table halves aligned. Notice if you remove the pin, you MIGHT
feel a ridge when sliding wood across the table, at the junction. The
cast top may or may not exhibit misalignment with the pin out, but
that's why it's there.

It's there to keep the two sides of the table on the same plane. Without it,
one or the other could rise up and put the table off flat.

Roll your own? I made a reduced clearance insert for my 14" Grizzly.
I cut a disk using the existing insert along with just enough slot. The
wood was considerably thicker than the old insert (which was a bit short
of the table surface as it happens), so I put it in upside down and
worked the rim down to the right thickness. Works like a champ.

Keeps both sides of the table slot aligned.
