I recently picked up another BT3000 with all the accessories and wanted to make my own Frankensaw, so here it is! It's my BT6000!
It's on some very heavy cabinets I picked up from an out-of-business department store. They are bolted together and on outrigger wheels to allow clearance under the bench.
The rails are 96 inches long! There are two full size rails and a portion of a third for both front and back. The center table is the vacuum clamping/floatation table, though I've not used it yet. I have it set up with the left saw using the Freud combo blade and the right saw is set for dados.
With two rip fences, I'm able to dedicate one to being the router fence full-time. I can see where having to set it up each time I wanted to use it would be a pain.
The folding table was modified to lose a few inches so it would clear the concrete footer when it is stowed under my messy workbench. When stowed, I'm still able to use the garage as intended.
I have some spare parts left over from the build. I have a full set of rails, a set of rails that are approximately 31", the legs from the extended table (minus the mounting nuts and bolts) and a spare set of wrenches. I'm going to list them in the classifieds if anyone is interested.
Now, I just have to get out there and make some saw dust!
