Ten years ago, I was newly married to a pretty blonde and shiny new honey-do list. With numerous projects that suggested a TS and very little $$ in my pocket, I purchased a bottom of the line TS from craftsman. I learned an important lesson -- if you are expecting a modicum of accuracy, pay the money for it.
Now, I am still working on that honey-do list, but have a bit more cash to get a better TS, with these parameters:
1. space is a major issue.
2. cutting sheets of plywood is important, but so are joinery cuts.
3. multi-use is my friend. The router table being built into the table saw means two tools take the space of one (see #1).
4. cost is an issue, but there is flexibility, here
So, given those parameters, I talked to my dad, and he showed me his BT3000, and said he was very happy with it. Great! So, off I went to amazon to order one... I am guessing you can see the problem.
1. So, I am guessing that I can only get a BT3x by taking a chance on craigslist or something. True?
2. I read something about a follow-on that Sears made. Can someone give me more information on that? I went through the Sears website and saw nothing.
3. If you had to replace your BT3x with another TS, what would you get?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
