At least once a week (sometimes once a day), someone on a wood working tool forum somewhere, asks about what table saw to buy for the hobbyist or for the home shop. In almost every instance, that person gets one of two types of answers. They either are told to buy a certain brand or type of saw, or they are told to stay away from a certain type or brand of saw. Almost never are they given factual reasons for the advice, just opinions. Almost always, someone chimes in with “Buy your last table saw first”; even if the person has stated an upper limit of their budget. You also see quite a bit of “advice” to stay away from anything less than $700 or more. Quite often the person seeking knowledge has asked specifically about the BT3000. After successfully using a BT3K for many years, I have always had more to say about the tool than forum space has allowed. This article is an attempt to provide a potential BT3K owner with some “facts” to carry into the hunt for that new table saw.
