I think Espedair Street has a point, and I am comming from the same angle. I have been making in wood seriously for a couple of years now, and all with hand tools, all joints cut by hand and yes i can cut DT's and MT's resonably quickly with presentable results. But I have a limited amount of time for my hobby and a relativly small workshop in a single garage. I do not have the time or space for Jigs, i've been there when I made a greenhouse for a relative, it was a one off like the majority of my jobs (Flute stands excluded) so I need the flexibility that a rat can offer without the equivelent of 3 sheets of MDF hanging around the workshop, it's not as if it burns well when you have finished it. So for £500 or a lot less if you can pick one up a rat is a welcome addition to my shop.I don't remember this sort of debate about Rip Saws and Table saws :wink:Bean
