I have been a BT3100 owner for only a short time but was getting very frustrated with trying to move it around to make the cuts I wanted to make. I recalled seeing some folks that put together a modified UTS and decided that was a design that I liked. This has turned out to be a true labor of love/love of labor project! Building the torsion box was fun, and the BT3100 was a pleasure to do all of the dados with. Too bad it wasnot possible to do all of the break down on the sheet goods. I'm not sure if there was any benefit to using MDF, that stuff is heavier than heck, and it is really messy to work with. I have spent all my free hours this past week working on this project and right now I am happy to report that the torsion box is done, casters are on, stand is mobile, the upper cabinets are done and installed, the BT3100 is installed and all of the tools that did not have a home, are temporarily stored in the unfinished moded UTS. I am now trying to figure out what I would like to do about powering the UTS as well as dealing with dust collection for the BT3100. I have roughed out a dust collection idea for below the saw, but I am thinking it might be better to have this on the end vice the back. This will allow me to park it closer to a wall when not in use.
I will try to post pictures as I get the chance.
