Just my opinion... really depends on what you ask the saw to do..

And that is the best summary. I really like mine because it does what
I want it to do. But it definitely won't do what some others may want
it to do (a la Watson's humorous but on-target post)

===============
I have NOT read the other replies.... BUT

My one son owns a BT3100 and it DOES WORK for him...(very causal
usage)..

Personally I do a lot of woodworking and I would not even think of
owning one for the work I do... My impressions of HIS saw...

Small and very light, underpowered, I question how long the saw could
hold alignment the sliding table is a great idea BUT his is not
capable of making the same cut more then 6-7 times before you have to
reset everything ...

BUT for him it is a HELL OF A GOOD SAW... extremely inexpensive and
will (I think) last him until I die and he gets my cabinet saw...

Hey, if when the time comes he is still happy with the BT3100, can I
have the cabinet saw? g
