This post is more about Ryobi bt-3000 sites that I have found helpful in maintaining and modifying my table saw.

 

Ryobi BT-3000 modifications – contains a very detailed description about how to deal with the shim problem.  If you haven’t already had to face this, you most likely will an unfortunate design problem of the BT-3000.  In the BT-3100 Ryobi has changed the shim design.

He has some very interesting under the saw storage solutions.  He uses the space in the saw stand.  It is a very nice compact design.

The site also contains photos of a couple of completed projects.  The boot bench and CD cabinet are very nice!

 

BT3 Central has a huge collection of very useful articles for your BT-3000.  Articles cover topics such as general information, repair and maintenance, modifications, table saw jigs, etc.  Currently the section that I am very interested in is the ‘mobile bt3s’.  One of my up coming projects is to build a mobile base for my BT-3000 replacing the existing fixed stand.  The mobile base will support the extension rails and table.  The space underneath will be filled with drawers and a cabinet for maximum storage.

As for forums, check out Ryobi Tools Forum.  It has lots of topics and threads dealing with the BT-3000 and BT-3100.

Looking for ideas for shop furniture and cabinets?  They have plans for a mobile table saw cabinet.  Not for a Ryobi BT-3000; however, the plan can be easily modified to fit your table saw.  Includes plans for a miter saw work station with lengthy tables flanking the saw to provide plenty of support for cutting really long stock.
