Hello,
First of all, I am thankful for this page as it has answered some of my other questions. I am a 25 year old who took shop classes throughout High school, and my brother just gave me his old Ryobi BT3000 table saw and router. I am hoping to connect with someone via phone or instant message to answer some questions that I have over this before I begin making projects. Is there an updated list of parts and accessories and where to get them at I have the following parts/accessories for the saw(sorry for the lack of terminology), let me know If there are any must haves:
Full SMT assembly (with clamp to lock miter in place and clamp to keep wood down)
- Does the fixed piece appear to be curved? I plan on checking it out tonight, but when I first looked, it seemed to be bent or the piece was thicker in some spots.
- Also when I put the sliding top on, should there be side to side movement? Is there anyway to lock in place without the use of a clamp? Lastly, the "feet" underneath that keep the the sliding piece on track appear to be broken, all still attached, just pieces broke off.
*****Photo will show miter fence not setup correctly, since I took this i learned that a peg fits into the whole.*****
Rip Fence
- It seems to not be aligned correctly, but just read that there are screws on top to correct this. I will look into this tonight,but if you have any other suggestions let me know. Also the screw on the end of the fence seems to be stripped.
Routing table with Router
- Do not have the router table kit and do not have the throat plate.
Also, I have tried reaching out to Wayne Hill and have also created a ticket through Ryobi to get the updated On/Off switch, but have yet to here anything.
I would really love to have a feather board, but do not see one on the market that will suffice. If anyone has any suggestions o none that works or plans on how to make one let me know. I think I saw the 3100 model has a manual on how to make one, but do cannot find the details anywhere and do not know if it work for the 3000.
I would also love to have the miter slot top accessory, so i could use an actual miter gauge if needed, as well as a feather board.
Are there any jigs with plans on how to make them for this saw?
I noticed some discussions and pictures do not populate, is there anything i need to do to get these to start popping up, did they move?
If anyone has Facebook or a Facebook page about this saw let me know! i noticed the Facebook group for Saw Dust is practically non existent.
Thank you in advance, like I said, I would love to speak with someone over this saw let me nkow if you could be of help, i can give you my number or we can message on here or Facebook. I will try to add a photo.
