I was undecided when I first spotted one at the BORG. Running a Google on the BT3K led me here. With all the great reviews and info I picked one up and couldn't be any happier with my purchase.
The first project I made was this Mobile cabinet. I started with a torsion box, then for the cabinet used biscuits to add strength to the joints. I've used biscuits to assemble a prior project and it worked well. The center dividers were spaced to place the BT mount bolts outside the vertical dividers. This gave me a decent size for the drawers and space to route out the middle for my dust collection bin. I made the cab plenty deep to prevent the saw from tipping when cutting large boards like my old Craftsman would. This had the benefit of adding weight to the unit for stabilty. Seems to work well. I am adding leveler feet to the sides and am looking to add a router station and table top. Any comments or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brian
