WTB: a few parts for a BT3000...

[RobsBT3000]

I could use a few parts to get my new found machine in order:

1: Blade lift complete crank handle assembly with cam/spring/handle,etc
2: Need those levers/bolts for the fence rail to hold it to the saw
3: Riving knife or blade guard or both
4: Sliding miter table OR that miter slot part Ryobi makes
5: Arbor wrenches
6: Back part of the fence that holds it to the back rail.
PM me here if you have anything I could use.
Thanks
Rob

NOTE: since posting this list of items I wanted, I have decided keep
my craftsman cast iron top table saw and part out mine.
I have a seperate post coming that will show what I have.
Thanks
Rob

Check out t-nuts.com for the levers. He has a ratcheting version that looks to be pretty cool. I haven't tried them as I hardly ever move my rails. http://www.t-nuts.com/bt3c/

You might think about getting some other t-nuts from him too. Especially if you fabricate an outfeed table.

you need enough parts that it'll be almost cheaper to be on the lookout for a BT with a burned up motor and buy the rest for $50 bucks...

Thanks guys. I gave the saw a test run this morning and it ran great. Cut several 3/4 inch boards. Dust collection worked very well. I decided I will be parting this one out instead of finishing it. I have a vintage craftsman cast iron bench top that I just restored that has a direct drive motor like this but its super quiet so I can use it any time of the day or night in the garage without disturbing anyone. I do have a plan for the Ryobi wheeled stand and fence and fence rails so I will hang on to them. They will be the rolling stand for my old saw and the fence will be adapted to the new saw to give me more ripping width...So I guess I can now supply parts to those in need.
Thanks
Rob
