How should the saw be abbreviated?

[Black wallnut]

Since there are two basic versions of Ryobi's BT tablesaw which would be the most correct abb. fir the BT3100, BT3000, and all inclusive?
I was just wondering today. We all know that the "k" in BT3K, Y2K, etc means "thousand". But in commerce m=1000 and c=100. In mathematics "n" means number and "x" usually means variable. I'm not sure what the correct answer is. Help me out, please.

Me thinks the new saw should be the BT31C.You didn't give that option in the poll.

Things worth doing,are worth doing right the very first time!!

How about BT3K and BT3100 . Everyone knows the BT3K and the abbreviations for the BT3100 only save 2 letters which really isn't a whole lot of time saved spelling it. As far as all-inclusive, I have seen BT3X as the norm (not Norm in Fujino).

Hey, none of youse is right. The prefix kilo is Greek, but M and C are Roman numerals, so they should be BTMMM and BTMMMC.[][8D][)]

The best way to abbreviate the saw ... is not to paint the red line! [}]

OK, OK, so you only abbreviate the Mitre Fence , who's counting?

This looks complicated, better get a bigger hammer

Ath, if I were giving prizes for the best solution you'd have to get the blue ribbon![8D][8D]

Blue ribbons, red lines, what a colourful world we BT3x00 owners inhabit . Thanks, Mark.

BTW - in the UK back in the days of steam engines on the railways (pre-1960s), the locomotive types were abbreviated as 5XXX or 9XXX.

I guess "none of the above" was the correct answer. It wasn't my choice but like I stated at the begining I'm not sure.

Thanks for your participation!

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