No it has a steel insert. I have made a zero clearance insert with some plyboard. I used a flush trim bit in my router to copy the shape of the insert. The I lowered the blade below the table, put the insert in place, placed a bit of weight arount the edges. I switched the saw on and then slowely raised the blade through the insert. 5 minute job.
It is much better, as with the original insert, small offcuts fell down beside the blade. They are not easy to get out.
