So I finally moved my BT3000 (13 amp) out to the garage and put it all together - mounted saw to stand, put on rails, SMT, fence, aux table + an extra aux table from the 15 amp saw. Now I've got to get everything at least marginally lined up. First project is to rip and crosscut some 2x's and crating for garage and basement storage, so it doesn't have to be super precise, but still I would like to learn how to use the saw properly.
Should I just follow the directions in the manual? What's the best order to do the procedures? What tools to use to check the blade tilt for 90 and 45 degrees? Is there a tutorial on this site (didn't see one but maybe I looked in the wrong place)?
Also, this thing came with a 60 tooth Oldham finishing blade which I suppose is not ideal for ripping. Is there a relatively cheap general-purpose combo blade like the original Ryobi that'd work? Should I grab a rip blade?
