What is the model # of the Craftsman TS that's supposed to be the equivalent of the BT3000?

21829.
I made the decision to buy after lurking around this site for a while.
It retails for $450, regular price. I joined the craftsman club, waited until it went on sale, and got it for $350. I've never owned a TS until now, so experience is limited, but I like.
You might have to wait for a while to get one, they seem to often be on back order. I had to wait about two weeks after ordering. That was after waitng a month for the CC membership to go through. If you decide to join CC, stay on them or you might never get the membership. I have no idea why they are so inefficient with the memberships (or at least they were this time).
Edit: oops. sorry about that.

Minor correction
The current one 21829 is the equivalent of the BT3100. The 22811 is the equivalent of the BT3000.
Wanted to give a correction, since you might be looking at used.
There is one other poster, who may have even an earlier version (different number) or a later number (after switch recall?)

ah ok, Reason I asked is because I did buy a used Craftsman. It was 22801 so I guess nothing like the BT series? I got it for a real good price though ($40) so I think I'll give it a try. Funny thing is I was considering saws 3-4 times this one I saw at CL. The saw was pretty dusty but no rust and most of the accessories were still wrapped. I'll try her out for a week or 2 and at worst I'll sell it and hopefully have enough for a better saw.I reject your reality and substitute my own.Comment

315.221850 is another model number for a Craftsman BT3 clone. This is the saw I got from SiliconBauHaus.
the one you picked up doesn't appear to have adjustable rails or the SMT.Mike
