      Rather than BT3001, you are probably meaning BT3100, right? There is much info about the evolution of the models and the differences, to be found in "Lchien"s FAQ. PM him with your e-mail addy, and he'll send it to you...

          I have both. 3000 in Japan and 3100 in the US. The 3100 has an improved shim setup and is painted slightly more vibrant colors. The 3100 has a normal contractor saw type of stand. The 3100 also has a much less-liked plastic height/angle adjuster wheel.

          Me - I like the stand of the 3000 better. Overall, If I were to choose between the two, I would choose the 3000 and personally fix the shim problem. Still, there is not that much difference in operation and results.

              the BT3 FAQ describes in detail the differences between the BT3000 and the BT3100 if that's what you are aksing about. Also the various Sears editios of the same saw.

              Plus about 100 other frequently asked questions.

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

                  My opinion:

                  The practical differences between the saws are so minor, if you are on the market for a BT3 family saw, consider them both the same.
