    Hooray for my BT3100

    Well, I've puttered around a little more with my BT3100 and man I'm impressed with it! I had to rip down some trip from 5 1/4" to 5". Dialed up the width and ran it through, just as slick as whodathunkit.

    Then I needed a shallow dado on the backside of two pieces of trim for clearance for some pocket door guides. I installed my Delta 6 inch stacked dado set for the first time and it made a very neat clean flat bottomed dado. Beautiful!

    No real point to this post. Just excited. Have a great Christmas.
    - Chris.

        Whoa, yeah! Keep the blade sharp, the saw aligned, and don't expect to do 500 bf of oak in one day, and she's a sweet cuttin' machine.

        Have fun!
