Need to make a quick decision: BT 3000 SX
Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade from my (most) entry level Ryobi saw. Is this a step up or essentially the same thing: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/tls/1291619445.html Many thanks in advance! Looking to decide in the next hour or so. Thanks! Aaron |

Aaron The hour is passed. What did you decide? I hope it was not to buy a saw from a guy who types in all caps, can't spell table, and stores "brand new" tools with such deplorable care. |

I have until tomorrow morning. What about the saw itself? |

I have until tomorrow morning. What about the saw itself? I had a BT1000, the earlier version of that saw, dont waste your money. It has 2 failings 1. the sliding table slides on plastic bearings. there's no way to maintain precision with that. they were always wearing. 2. the up/down adjustment is made of aluminum instead of steel. IT was a very common problem with the saw that after a few uses things would get clogged a bit with sawdust and cranking it up got a bit difficult. Then all the aluminum pieces would strip and the saw blade would fall all the way down with a clunk, never to be cranked up again. Thats what killed mine. Overall, it was a horrible saw that I was always fussing with, even though I did a lot of non-precsision work with it. A more normal contractors saw would work much better than this. |
