Just had a poke round the Rutland sight, didn't need any thing in particular. However, found that their Easy scribe tool is buy one get one free. Works out at about £11.50 each with P&P. Paid more than that for my old compass from eBay.

Fences and feather boards are so easy to make out of scrap wood.
As for insert plates there are loads on the market or buy a piece of aluminium plate on ebay and get drilling. Its not rocket science!

I'm building a house in my spare time, some things are more "purchaseable" than others.

Maybe. Thinking back to my housebuilding days 30 plus years ago, my RT was a piece of plywood gripped in the workmate and G-clamped fences.
Many metres of window board made on that set up as well as the mantlepiece top that I'm sitting beside as I type.
I did cheat and buy in windows so I agree it does make sense to buy in some items.

The cheaper one, well, it's good value with the extra money off and free delivery, but can't see dust extraction port on it very well in the pictures.
