    long time no see

    I haven't been around since bt3central changed over. I suddenly got the itch to look for another bt3 and found one about 2 hours away from me. The bloke was asking 300 and I said I'd give him 200 to take it away. He replied he can make 500 selling the parts so I told him good luck.

    I remember an Aussie bloke who did mad mods with his bt3. Is he still around ?

    Aussie Bloke was Rod Kirby. Sadly he passed away in 2016 https://www.sawdustzone.org/forum/di...9361-rod-kirby

    After he retired his BT3 (a rare 220 Volt model) he sent me his miter fence which I still use today.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      $300.00 is mighty high for a used BT3x00. Not that I don't love the saw, just being realistic... There was a 21829 given away in Cali recently that was posted here. And one from an inrequent user here in Houston Metro that I think he wants for $200.00 but S&H is out of the question.

      Road trip maybe?
