Mobile BT3000 Cabinet By Roy Shrove I picked up this BT used out of an ad in the paper. When I got it, I had already been a BT3k'r for about 3 years. I picked up my first BT when the old Builder's Square was morphing into HQ and changing from the Ryobi line to Bosch. I had been looking into "real iron" but decided for the $114 I paid for it (when the BT was selling for around $600) that I could used it while I saved enough money for a "real" saw. Needless to say, I fell in love with the BT. Even though it was an abused floor model, all adjustments were dead-on and have stayed that way for 2+ years. Anyway, I started to collect accessories so that I could put together a wide-table version of the BT. ...

Having built my own BT3K wide-rail mobile cabinet, I thought that it might be useful to those who are still at the design stage, to those just thinking about it, or to those just interested in the concept, to read about the process I followed and what core design issues were involved. This may not result in a definitive design for you, but may, at least, focus on the critical elements of the project. I have included drawings and photographs to assist, not all to the same scale, or even to scale at all. ...

BT3100 Compact 4-Wheel Dolly By Rick Slaugh (rslaugh) I live in a townhouse with a single car garage (which is an oxymoron because the garage will never house a car) that I share with my wife’s vintage clothing business. Needless to say sawdust and vintage clothing doesn'’t mix very well so my “shop” needs to be portable and move to the driveway when I actually want to use it. I bought the accessory kit for my BT primarily for the 4” casters. I soon learned that the casters are a poor solution for me because of the location underneath a storage cabinet where the saw gets stored. ...

BT3000 Cabinet Modifications By Norm Havens I guess I've finally finished most of my BT3K cabinet modifications. I borrowed a number of hints I from elder statesmen on the Ryobi Tool Forum, and added a few innovations of my own. 1. For any BT3K users who haven't already seen it, I previously uploaded a separate page about my version of an Optional Handle for Lifting the BT3K. After installing the new handle, though, I noticed, as others no doubt also have, that when the Ryobi casters are attac...

Height was determined after I bought the wheels - 4-1⁄2” High from floor to base (not wheel dia.), all are swivel, locking). This makes the top of the...
