Mobile BT3100

[tstrope]

Here are a couple shots of my moble BT3100. The base is a torsion box base. The extension table slides out to make room for the SMT. The outfeed table just lifts off of the main unit. The outfeed table can be set up in less than a minute. The handles on both ends of the cab are just to pull the saw out from the wall as the whole unit slides under one wing of my miter station...Thanks...Tim

Looks great, Tim.

Be perfect once you get your Sharkguard - and so much EASIER to use [8D]

[Whaler]

Very nice Tim.

Looks great! All you need is a Sharkguard and you will rockin' and rollin'!

The Blue on the BT goes nicely with the PT Cruiser.

That does look great. Plenty of onboard storage. It is missing more than just the little bling bling of the Shark. There ain't no SMT on that rascal nor miter slots. This tells me you must have a nice CMS sitting in there somewhere.

I see that Chrysler started using Pepsi Can blue after they seen how snazzy it looks on a Shark Guard. Sharp color. [8D]

Looks really nice! Interesting that you'd put the router on the left. I'd expected to put mine on the right, but was concerned about losing the storage space. A few questions: What do you use your drawers and under-saw cabinet for? How do you handle the sawdust that drops to the bottom of the BT3 cabinet? is the outfeed table attached to the back of the saw? Why the notch in it? Are the handles at each end of the cabinet just for maneuvering it? Is the bottom a torsion box or just a frame? Have you completely given up on the SMT, or can you readily remove the left table to install it? Do you have some other fixture for handling crosscuts on the BT3?

The Sharkguard is still on the wishlist...Thanks...Tim

Great cabinet.

Could you post some more detail pictures of the outfeed table mounting. I think I understand your description, but I'm very visually oriented and some pics would be great.

I'd also like to see more details on the extension table. Did anyone else note that it apparently moves in and out to accomodate the SMT.

[DaveW]

Very nice!

Could you give some more detail about how the right-side slides/locks for your SMT? and how you keep it level with the saw table top?

[monte]

Nice work.

[mater]

Very nice. You did an excellent job on it.

[JeffW]

Darn good looking setup.

Tim: That looks great! I can see that you really thought things through before building. My saw is set up with the rails slid to the left and the table filler on the flange of the saw and the router plate. I like others am interested in how you mounted the tables to the rails and fitted the outfeed table.
I need to get my saw off the factory base and mobile, and am just looking for ideas. What are the dimentions of your outfeed table?

[JTimmons]

Very nicely done, wish I would have waited to do mine, you gave me some ideas that are too late to incorporate into mine.
While I was very flattered someone mentioned putting mine onto the sites article section, I think yours needs to be in there as mine is just a different variation on a lot have already done. You have used some very nice and original ideas on that top.

Heck, you even got the "Jig King" Rod Kirby to chime in. That says it all!!!

[Pappy]

Nice work, Tim. I also would be interested in more details on how the outfeed table is attached and supported. How about some details on the mounting of the right table so that it can be moved over, too?
