    Is this a bt3000?

    My father is helping a widow downsize her estate and one item she has from her husband is a Ryobi Table Saw. He sent a picture, but I cannot absolutly identify it. Is this a bt3000? The markings seem a little different, but the general shape and orientation seem the same. Any ideas?

      yes, that's an original BT3000. in the silver/black gray color scheme.
      Looks like there's an aux table but i don't see the SMT on the saw itself.
      Its on the original square stand but the owner has added some doors to the front and one would assume - some shelves inside.

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

        From the picture it seems like an earlier version with the earlier model On / Off switch (the switch is on recall). I believe they had the 13 amp motor instead of current 15 amp. If you get a chance find out the serial number which has the manufacturing date for the saw.
