Ryobi - BT3000 Old Reliable

[Joe Bailey]

My BT3000 has lasted for many years and although I have been tempted from time to time by expensive cabinet saws, I could never see enough added value to upgrade. Over the years I have added just about every accessory at one time or another, and they all worked pretty much as advertised. Unless I hit the lottery or a disaster happens, my kids will probably have to make the decision of what to do with it when I die. It isn't glamorous, it isn't expensive, it just works -- what more can I say?

I bought mine used off Craigslist - after adjusting and cleaning my worries were over - I have what is probably the greatest homeowners table saw ever made. This baby has it all, light weight easy to move around my shop, sliding table, a huge plus, easy blade changes, very accurate fence, versatile table router mount ( I have a Ridgid 2900 ) all in a compact unit, I made my own zero clearance plate and fitted a 7 and 1/4" extra thin kerf blade for all my general strait cutting, this blade makes hardly any saw dust and is a knife through butter!
This saw exceeded my expectations by a large margin. Five Big Stars *****
