    BT3100 Sell whole or part out

    I held on for 20 years and have enjoyed the ride but I'm moving on. I don't know if people understand the precision versus a contractor saw in order to sell it.

    I have 1/2 of the extended rails and connectors, micro adjustment, unopened belt, blade guard with dust port and zero insert.

    I would be happy with $100 whole or parted in West Michigan. Which way should I go?
    Thanks again,
    Mike

    I watch BT3x parts on eBay all the time out of curiousity.
    Clearly you can get a lot more for the parts than you can for the entire saw, plus, the entire saw is hard to ship whereas the parts in demand are relatively easy to ship.
    Just off the top of my head, you should easily get these prices, maybe more at eBay auction
    Sliding miter table, no fence.. $30-50
    SMT fence and parts $30
    Rip fence complete $30
    Auxiliary table $35
    Rails - $35 set
    1/2 rails not seen but I would imagine $25 with connecting hardware
    blade Wrenches $15
    Arbor spacers and washers and nut $15
    Motor $50-100
    Spare belts set (of 2) $10-15
    There's lots more parts like blade guard, handwheel, stand etc. that could be sold.
    So it adds up to a lot more than $100 but it's a lot of work.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        Is the shark guard still being made for the 3100? Wondering what I should sell it for?
        Thanks again,

          still selling guards, the BT3000 doesn't seem to be listed though. The models for other saws seem to have gotten quite expensive.

          I think this is the page where you would order one with the riving knife for the BT3x00 saws https://www.thesharkguard.com/produc...guard-package/
          Being that they cost about $295-350 your riving knife and guard if you have a later version would be valuable to someone.

            Weren't they originally made by a member of bt3central?

              Yes, Lee Styron, but he passed away a few years ago, but his family are running the business, I believe.
