For anybody interested, Ryobi have concluded that the errant nut/bolt is not part of the tool and must have erroneously slipped into the box during the manufacturing/packing process. Thought it best to check, I quite like my fingers attached to my hands after all. After-sales service from...

That was my thought, but no; the depth stop is in place and somewhat longer than the 'spare' lying in the box. Contacted Ryobi but they haven't been able to figure it out yet. Very odd. :?:

Best bet would be to phone around or visit local timber yards and have a nose around their stock. For my money, when making furniture, it is better to personally view/select the wood so that you get the exact look you want.

The good news: It arrived promptly and is factory condition. The bad news: There are 2 parts loose in the box (see photos below): 1. The first part appears to be the plastic cover to the blade lock button: As you can make out in the photo the plastic has broken where it fixes to...

The Ryobi wins the day, ordered and paid for so should be with me in a couple of days. Thanks everybody. Doug

Would love to know where this has got to now...

Thanks big-all. Would you have a preference between the 2 listed in my original post, or possibly recommend another to consider?

DW777 won't trench cut. Damn, was almost decided! Right, back to the original shortlist, unless there are any other spanners out there waiting to be thrown? Doug

Great tip on video clips and that link was very helpful. The DW777 looks solid, think it may not be quite big enough for the job in hand though? Spec says 60x265mm on crosscut, but my rounds are 75mm across. I may just be misreading?

See what I mean, it just isn't possible to make a decision!!! Seriously, thanks for the steer and I will take a look now. Silly question perhaps, but presumably having a L only bevel doesn't really matter if you are happy enough to turn the piece of wood over if needed? In other words, it...

Can't find it, have you got a link? Cheers. Doug
