I've only tried the vanilla, but I like it a lot. 4g net carbs per 1/2 cup, I found it at Albertson's (mine seems better than most on this, since the general manager is a low-carber himself).

Many companies just don't want to deal with the risk, hassles, and costs.

Sat a couple months...is the fuel that old?

Whoa, I missed that before, but yeah, I have direct personal experience that Goo Gone and carb cleaner will soften paint.

I love those pads. Very gentle on rotors. Watch for them in the rain though, they lose power and feel a bit mushy until they heat up and dry.

Mike, does it clog up with a vac, the collector bag, or just open? I usually use a vac, but was thinking of trying out the collector bag for small jobs. I added the standard slot table which has two industry-standard plain slots (not T). My featherboard works great in it. Since it has two slots, I get more position options. It goes between the sled and the fixed table top. New saw...and no impending projects...why does everything around the house look like it needs cutting...? Oh, and I learned this saw has its own online cult. www.bt3central.com Funny, it's kinda like...having a motorcycle model-specific board...

Glad you figured that out, since I just realized it actually used the tags and didn't show them...duh...

The browsers do that automatically. English rules were changed a while back so that the double space after period is no longer correct, and browsers were made to fit that new rule. You can use %nbsp as a space character, but I'm not sure if browsers will respect that or not. You could use the and tags at the start and end of a section of text, and then the browser will display it exactly as typed (carriage returns, tabs, etc).

I'll post it here for the benefit of other people outside the US that might be reading. Most companies will allow you to order it and ship it to a US address. I just re-label it and send it to you. You can look up the costs at www.usps.gov. I ship packages 3 days a week, and international is no big deal. You can cover the shipping costs via Paypal. If the company won't do that, just Paypal it to me, I'll order it, and re-ship it. I do this with a variety of things that people can't get in other countries.

I'll be happy to re-ship them to you if needed. Cost should be pretty low for something that light, and USPS Global Priority takes less than a week to Europe.

If you're going to toss it, would you send it to me? I have a need for a left mirror body I can hack up for a possible project.

You are holding on WAY too hard, and you're way too stiff!

It's similar, but this is a newer model. And I ended up with an updated version of the newer model, which wasn't on the floor or in the reviews I read. The model number is BT3100-1, yours was the BT3000, and the one I've seen reviewed is the BT3100. I've split off this thread into its own, to also add a review and discussion of the saw. First off, I was wrong about parts of it being plastic. This is all metal, everything is metal. Right to the motor carrier, dust collector port, absolutely everything. The top is not iron unfortunately, but it is cast aluminum with a LOT of reinforcement for stiffness. The side rails are extruded aluminum also with a lot of channels and reinforcement. I tried to bend them. They aren't going to. Everything is heavy guage; the stand is thicker and stronger than any of the stands on my other power tools. The big thing about this saw is the features it has. It might not stand up to everyday pro use, but for me, features are more important since I just do occasional projects. The saw includes a nice, solid miter sled with a longer miter fence than most saws include. An accessory table is included for mounting a router. The rip fence is self-aligning, smooth, and accurate. It will cut 4" dimensional lumber (over 3.5" blade height). I looked hard and was unable to find any other 10" saw that could do this. The rails can be moved to provide for a very wide cutting surface if needed. I haven't measured them, but I think you could get the fence out to over 30" and have support out to 40". The power switch actually powers an outlet on the side of the saw base, and the saw motor plugs into that. With a splitter, I can power my shop vac and work lamp so they turn on/off automatically with the saw. The only drawback I've seen compared to some other saws is that there is no way to attach/hold blades and the tools on the saw itself. I'll fix this by attaching some hooks and bolt/wing nuts to the legs. You wouldn't believe how much shopping I did looking for the saw I really wanted, and then I happened across this one by chance at a Home Depot. It is not available at all Home Depot stores; the one closest to me, where I first looked, doesn't have it. Cost was an amazing $299. I also picked up the accessory kit. This includes two zero-clearance plates, a dado plate, dust bag, miter fence hold-down, miter slot table, wheels to make it portable, and a router mounting kit. The kit parts are higher quality than expected. The router kit is very complete, with hardwood fences, dust catcher/safety cover, etc. You can get the kit on eBay for around $55 or so.

The nailer is sold, but there's good info here so I'm just going to rename the thread and keep it.

Essentially pureed cardboard with seeds and grass mixed in. My dog wouldn't eat it (my dog eats anything). Everyone else who tried them hated them too. Available at Hi-Health, but so are the Atkins bagels which are actually edible.

I spent some time screwing with it, sat on it, tried to bend it, etc. It's as rigid as my DeWalt. The fence self-parallels (an absolute requirement for me) and locks on both ends, so you have less chance of kick. It's light because the top is aluminum (yeah, I'd prefer iron), and the sides are plastic. Just like the DeWalt. I looked at a lot of Delta and even Jet/Powermatic. I saw a real nice Powermatic setup for only $9099, marked down from $12k. :shock: I bet it cuts nice. I'd rather have a new bike. Thing is, nothing has the features of this one at double the price. The features I find valuable are a good, solid, self-aligning fence, the miter sled, a very deep cut (this is better than my DeWalt), and the ability to put my router into the same table. There are a shit load of other little features that I like. The DeWalt will probably still be running when this one is in the trash. But the DeWalt is not a great one for quality finish work.

I *think* I'm going to get Ryobi's woodworking-specific saw, the BT3100. I'm pretty sure. I'm waiting on an expert opinion. Anyone here got an expert opinion also?

Different from the Atkins bread, and also very good. Seems more like real bread than the Atkins, but it is also higher in carbs (6g per slice, Atkins is 3g, and normal bread is 15g).

I hate raisins, but they are easily picked out. Other than that it's fantastic, and only 2g per slice. Available at Hi Health.

Speaking of meters, for those you not into electrical stuff and who don't have one... Harbor Freight has lighted digital meters for $12. They work, and are as accurate as my high end meter. They won't take much abuse, but it's a good thing to have if shit happens.

You should always be drinking 3/4 gallon as a minimum, and I feel it when I don't get my normal 1 gallon per day. Being low-carb makes this more important.

Call me a pussy, but I always put on heavy work gloves to do anything electrical. I rarely turn off the breaker. I just assume it is live, and work accordingly. Kinda like assuming all guns are loaded. Then again, I've been hit with 27kv once, so it mighta heightened my awareness.

Awesome! The nacho chips don't have enough nacho flavor really, but they taste like a normal tortilla chip, perfect for dipping. Man, I missed chips & salsa. The twists are plain and taste a lot like Fritos.

I will probably do that next time I'm at Lowe's. Hell, I only need one, already have one. And it was only $6. At the time of the install though, it was either use the double or go without until I could make another trip. Have I mentioned how much better my power tools run on a good electrical circuit?? :grin:
