This is one of the best points in this thread.

In my case I have the older BT3000, a Delta planer, Delta drill
press, PC router, PC Speedbloc, PC Quicksand, Dewalt biscuit-er, all
for less than a Unisaw....

Someday though, I WILL have the space and dough to get a Unisaw....

A BT3100 is not a Unisaw. But, for the price, I think it's the best
available.

And that comes from a Unisaw owner.

I would probably wait and buy a better saw but if the budget does not
permit, buy the BT3100. There are a lot of loyal users.

Personally, I would recommend buying a BT3100 as a good placeholder for the
tablesaw need, and focusing the budget first on jointer, planer, compressor,
drillpress, bandsaw, hand tools, etc, before investing in the better saw.
BT3100 isn't the best, but
BT3100+Planer+Jointer+Compressor+drillpress+bands aw is certainly better than
Unisaw and none of the others. Probably slightly cheaper, too :-)

(of course, I don't have a Unisaw to compare to)
