Well, here's my new BT-3100 set up in it's temporary summer home...the shed. It went together very easily and I only had to do minor adjustments to the bevel stops and rip fence. SMT was bang on right out of the box. I'm very impressed with the fit and finish of this saw as well as the setup instructions & hardware kit. Did a few test cuts and it perfomed just fine. Seems a bit slower that what I thought it would be, but it's running on about 70' of extension cord and the shop vac is on the same circuit. (I was waiting for the breaker to pop.)
This is just the start. I'll be finishing the basement over the summer and will then move the shop downstairs. I have a basement with outside access and about 12' x 20' of good usable space...plus some overflow for material storage. After 20 years of moving around in the military, I'm very excited about settling down and being able to start into a hobby I got a taste of in high school, and that I've wanted to get back into for years.
Thanks very much to all on this forum who provided advice on the BT-3100 and made the selection of my first major power tool a lot easier.
Cheers,
Roger
