    TS-Aligner jnr - any experiences with BT3100 saws?

    I have just bought a new BT3100K (the Australian version which comes with all the accessories), which is my first table saw. I have seen a few references to the TS-Aligner jnr and am wondering whether anyone has used this to align BT3100 saws, and if so, whether it is worth purchasing. Thanks.

      Way over-kill IMHO.

      I made a simple tool, based on a tip on this forum, that uses two magnets, a bit of wood and a nail. (I can't find the article, but I'll keep looking.)

      With this tool, I can set up the fence and the SMT perfectly and very quickly.

      Be sure to get Loring's PM with the complete FAQ's.
      You might think I haven't contributed much to the world, but a large number
      of the warning labels on tools can be traced back to things I've done...

          Lonnie in Orlando made his own jig that has been copied many times over.

          See it here:

              Welcome to the forum, Ron. I have had my BT3100 for a couple years now, and I still giggle like a school girl whenever I use it.

              I have nothing to offer, since others have much better and much more concise advice than I have. They'll be along shortly...

                  I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this.

                  When I come from the shop my wife always knows I've been using my new/old BT3000 clone!
