    Just to add my usual correction to the ongoing "The 21829 is just a BT3100 on wheels" misconception:

    The improvements include:
    • ...
    • The rails are longer - about 12" longer if I recall. This makes the 21829 a bigger, yet more compact saw. I have a dual-slot miter table permanently mounted and also keep an extra BT3 accessory table with a router base attached. If you are willing to move the rails (which I do without hesitation) you can safely cross-cut very wide workpieces.
      ...


    If you have a small shop, the 21829 is a wonderful TS. I simply could not do the work I do in my shop with any other saw.
    My FAQ states the 21829 rails are 47-48" vs 42" on the BT3000/3100, that's almost 6" longer. I must have got those figures from someone.

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

        If portability isn't an issue, would this one, or the granite top Ridgid be the way to go assuming your Home Depot lowers the price to $399?
        Don't think of it as losing a finger. Think of it as gaining a nub.

            Folks this thread was started in 2007...... over 2.5 years ago. Please let it die. If you wish to continue the discussion start a new one in one of the other forums. There is no bargain now.
