You beat me too it -- I was about to post this review of the same saw (note this review also reviews two new router tables) http://www.woodworkersjournal.com/ezine/interview.cfm

AFAICS it is not! Not even close to the specs of the BT3x saws. Looks more like an updated(?) BTS20. Without closeup inspection it appears to have a splitter instead of a riving knife, also no router mounting capabilities. Rip fence looks way out of alignment!!!!!!Donate to my Tour de Cure

I am unimpressed, at lest from the pics I have just looked at. Looks like a big "benchtop" table saw. Not a BT3 replacement.Awww forget trying to fix it!!!! Lets just drink beerComment

Looks remarkably like the Craftsman #21806 which has been available for a while. I looked at it briefly when I was considering my #21829 purchase
Steals a lot of its design ideas from the BTX but is quite a bit smaller and uses more plastic. Adds a built in extendable outfeed support which is nice on a small portable saw but it looses much of the "make it your own" options extensibility that was one of the hallmarks of the BTX.Comment
