Ryobi BT3000 Table Saw

As a former BT3000 owner, I feel compelled to chime in here. I bought the BT3000 as my “first” table saw and it took me about two years to outgrow it. The saw is cleverly designed but has a number of drawbacks. The working surface is rather small, and all that adjustability, especially the sliding rails, works against you. Every time you move the rails, you destroy the relationship of the ruler scale to the blade. One of the whole points of having a scale on the rip fence is so that you can set the scale to the measurement you want and cut with confidence.

I believe that due it’s lightweight and transportability, its ability to hold it’s settings so well under heavy use, combined with the standard features included in the basic package not available with other comparably priced contractor table saw’s — the Ryobi will eventually become the contractors’ choice for an on-site table saw.
