This saw sounds appealing but a search didn't turn up anyplace that sold
them, chain stores anyway. I found references to Sears, Lowes and Home
Depot but when I went to their web sites and drilled down, no such thing
as a BT3100. So who sells them where I might have an opportunity to
place my hands on one for a look-see first, or am I stuck with a no
touch internet purchase? I'm in Albuquerque if that matters.

I got mine at a local Home Depot--I had to go to about 3-4 of them
before I found one in stock. They're the only place that sells it
(AFAIK). Don't judge the saw by how it's set up in the store--most of
the ones I saw were not even close to being set up correctly. I'm
very happy with mine. It's not a Jet or Delta quality, but hey...it
was in the price range I was looking for, and better than my old
Craftsman. Try it...you'll like it. (C:
