    • How to make a BT3x00 Rip Fence/Miter Fence fixture block for mounting jigs
      by LCHIEN

      DIY BT3000 FIXTURE BLOCK for Rip/Miter Fence extrusion

      Simple shop construction - no machining.

      This is intended to fit the top T-track on the Rip and miter fence (uses the same extrusion) on the Ryobi BT3x00 / Craftsman 22811 family of saws
      You must make the Block and Base parts; you can make them 1.5" or 3 inches long or modify to any other length.
      Make the base from 1/8” aluminum bar, you can get 1.5”, 2”, and 3” at Lowes...

    • Another Thin Strip Jig
      by twistsol
      Ripping thin strips can be accomplished in a number of ways, but this jig is the best I've found so far.

      ​
      • There is no need to move the fence so every strip comes out exactly the same.
      • It is incredibly easy to build
      • It keeps your hands well away from the blade the whole time
      • It keeps control of the strip you are ripping all the way through the cut and past the blade
      • It doesn't interfere with the blade guard.
      • You can cut strips from any length of stock
      In the starting position,...

    • How to identify a Ryobi BT3000/BT3100/Craftsman 22811 or 21829 clone saw by sight
      by LCHIEN
      So you want to buy a BT3 clone. Been out of production for a while. Shopping on Craigs list or for sale ads is hard

      You have to keep an eye out and you have to be used to spotting the appearance giveaway features of the various models... Ryobi BT3000, BT3100, Craftsman 22811 and 21829
      There are certain things that clue you in and there are many ads that don't give model numbers and have crappy photos. Search for keywords RYOBI, Precision, System are often used i ad listings and      ...

    • Screw friction products EZ-Grip and Screw Grab?
      by LCHIEN
      I was reading an article about fasteners the other day.
      They mentioned a couple of products I had not heard of before:

      EZ-grip and Screw Grab

      Apparently if you have a screw that you have a hard time engaging like a worn Phillips, a drop of these products will increase the friction between the screw and the driver 8X it is claimed so that you can back out the screw.

      You can find them both at Amazon.
      Not cheap 5 oz of EZ-GRIP is $20; 1/2 oz of Screw...

    • A review of the Kreg Precision Trak & Stop Kit
      by twistsol

      Summary
      I built my miter station last summer and used the Kreg Precision Trak & Stop Kit. The kit was just the starting point. 8 feet of track and a single flip stop didn’t meet my needs since I was building a miter station the width of my shop, nearly 24 feet. I added four 48” pieces of top track and three additional swing stops so I could have two left and two right. Finally, I added metric rules to the top. Total cost breakdown is as follows

      BT3000 tall rip fence

      09-12-2021, 07:58 PM
      I have had a tall BT3000 fence for a number of years, I should have used it a few days ago but I didn't because it was too much trouble, And I paid the price as the tall item was a little unstable and I had a hard time controlling it as the two pieces separated and wallowed out a bigger kerf than I wanted at one place.

      Anyway the BT3000 tall fence is generally held on by the T-slots in the side of the rip fence. This is...
