Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post in, but I thought I'd make my first post a few pictures of my BT3100 set-up.
I've borrowed ideas from 2-3 other people on this forum to make this unit. And this site certainly has been a great resource that really helped me make the decision to buy a BT3100 in the first place - so thank you to everyone for that.
I know there are a few things that I could have done differently if I had access to things like the wide table kit. But I am in New Zealand and our access to accessories and parts is limited. I was honestly surprised that I could even get this saw here! Plus many or the alternate parts are ex-USA and cost a fortune to ship to NZ.
My aim here was to build a mobile saw bench with a router table that was wide enough to rip a full sheet. So it needed to have 1.2m (4ft) to the right of the blade.
This uuit also had may other advantages such as in-built dust collection, plus storage for a small bench-mounted drill press. And of course cupboards and drawers for all the various bits-and-pieces.
Anyway - I hope you like the pictures.
Oh, and as a footnote....in the final week that I was finshing this project I started a new job. With Festool. I'm now surrounded by awesome tools daily, but I still love my saw bench set-up.
