BT3000 Cabinet Modifications
BT3000 Cabinet Modifications By Norm Havens I guess I've finally finished most of my BT3K cabinet modifications. I borrowed a number of hints I from elder statesmen on the Ryobi Tool Forum, and added a few innovations of my own. 1. For any BT3K users who haven't already seen it, I previously uploaded a separate page about my version of an Optional Handle for Lifting the BT3K. After installing the new handle, though, I noticed, as others no doubt also have, that when the Ryobi casters are attac...

BT3000 Miscellaneous Improvements
These are some of the first things I did after I bought the BT3K (7 years ago).
- The Handle. The Handle was needed so I could mount the fence and have enough room for the “Fast track” along the top. The handle is a piece of striated 1-¼” curtain rod – perfect for the job. The tee nut is set in a counter bore slightly less than the thickness of the tee nut. This means that as you tighten the handle, the tee nut binds on the fence. If the counter bore was any deeper the tightening action would draw

The Rod Kirby Method of BT3000 Alignment
The Kirby Alignment MethodThis approach has three big advantages - it's simple, fast, and it works! I have been using this method successfully for years. Although the following seems "wordy", it's real easy. Everything centers around what I call my "alignment block". It's a piece of 1" thick MDF, 7-13/16" x 5-13/16", with 3/16" chamfers on the short sides of the top face. It's made this size so that when the saw blade is fully...

Things To Look For When Buying A Used BT3000
Below is an e-mail message from Jim Frye to an individual who is considering purchasing a used BT3000. In the e-mail message, Jim does a great job outlining things to look for to determining the overall condition of an “experienced” BT3000.
I think the major things to look for a used BT3000 are as follows, and not necessarily in order of importance. This is the order I thought of them.- The lead screw that runs the entire motor and arbor mount (locker bracket) passes through a threaded

Blade Height Adjustment Rebuild Instructions
Originally Posted by "JohnG" in the category BT3000 Maintenance & Repair I had to go through the ordeal recently of repairing the blade height adjustment on my B3000. The way this works is that the crank drives a shaft with a bevel gear on the end. The mating bevel gear turns a threaded shaft. The casting on the end of the motor (also supports the saw arbor) has a lug cast into it. This lug is threaded internally and the threaded shaft passes through this lug. As the shaft turns, the lug raises ... -

A BT3000 Maintenance Check List
A BT3000 Maintenance Check ListThis document discusses the steps a BT3000 user could use to perform periodic maintenance in an effort to extend the life of the saw. The question of how often to perform this type of maintenance is dependent on the amount of usage. As a general rule of thumb, any time something on the saw does not perform in a normal fashion would be a good time to perform this entire maintenance process. Even if you are using the saw with an operating dust co...

A Sticky Subject: Glue
In a “Fundamentals of Woodworking” class I attended taught by Marc Adams at the Indianapolis woodworking show, he stated that he uses ordinary white glue instead of yellow glue for the majority of his joinery. I decided to do a little research on the two types of adhesives and was surprised by what I found. White glues like Elmer's Glue-All are polyvinyl acetate (PVA) based adhesives. Yellow glues like Pro-Bond and Titebond are aliphatic resin glues, which are merely PVA adhesives with additives t... -
