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... -

BT3000 Safer Power Switch Modification

BT3000 Safer Power Switch Modification
BT3000 Safer Power Switch Modification by Jim Frye This add on to the BT3000 came about from a question on the tool forum concerning problems turning the saw off in an emergency situation. I have “missed” the switch cover many times because I was concentrating on the spinning saw blade, the work piece, the cut off, and my left hand. The stock BT3K switch cover is only 2.25 square inches in area and positioned where it is, can be a difficult target to hit the first time. There is a large switch on the market that measures something like 12” square, but my tool budget is a bit pinched. I came up with what amounts to an extension for the stock switch cover. I used a 6” wide by 10” long piece of thin rigid plastic. This produces a larger target of 60 square inches. This could be 1/8” plexiglas or thinner also. It doesn’t have to be very strong, just stiff enough to cause the switch to turn off when struck. It also can’t be very heavy or it will turn the saw off by it’s own weight. This cover extension is mounted on the existing cover with double sided carpet tape. This tape has fabric in it and is very strong. The extension could also be mounted with small screws and nuts if they were positioned to clear the switch mounting screws under the cover. The extension is mounted with 1” of it above the existing switch cover and centered on the cover. The bottom of the extension is then flush with bottom of the upper horizontal stand rail. This arrangement allows the entire cover to be raised to turn the saw on, or to remove the screws that hold the switch in the cabinet. It’s easy enough to slip your hand under the cover and turn the saw on without completely raising the cover. The larger surface area of this cover makes it easy to blindly reach down and shut off the saw with out looking. ...

A review of the MicroPreciis BT3 fixture blocks
I like the BT3 series table saw because it is innovative. One of the best attributes of the BT series saws is the presence of multiple T-slots in the rip fence, mitre fence, and fence rails. These slots allow the user to attach jigs and fixtures to the saw very easily. MicroPreciis and it's founders, Andrew Perrella and Erik S. Friis have created the BT3x00 Fixture Blocks. These blocks make attaching jigs and fixtures even easer. ... -

Zen and the Art of Splitter Shim Making
Zen and the Art of Splitter Shim Making By Mark Guglielmana – A.K.A. “Gugie” I'm a proud owner of a Ryobi BT3000 table saw. When I saw the Ryobi BT3100 update for the first time, I looked carefully for changes. One of the small but useful improvements is the use of splitter guides along with shims for the splitter/blade guard assembly. ...

Ryobi BT3000 Stop Block Construction Notes
Ryobi BT3000 Stop Block Construction Notes By Jim Frye
- Begin by cutting four pieces of 3⁄4-inch thick stock 2-1/4 inches square. The stop block will be stronger if it is made from plywood, but any hard wood will work satisfactorily.
- Glue the four blocks together, clamping until the glue has cured. It is easier to glue two blocks together and then join the two glue-ups together after the first glue-up has cured. If the block is being made from plywood, rotate the plys so that every ply is 90 degrees to the next ply on the adjoining block. If the block is being made from solid hardwood, orient the grain so that all four blocks are the aligned the same.

A Virtual Tour of the Indianapolis Woodworking Show
A Virtual Tour of the Indianapolis Woodworking Show This weekend, I made my annual trek to the Indianapolis woodworking show. I have been going every year for the past five years. This year, I was finally fortunate to have a bit of extra money and was able to attend one of the all day seminars. Below are some photos I took specifically for this site. I wanted to give those of you who are not able to attend the shows a glimpse of what they are all about. I struggled with the decision of which w...
