Yeah space is an issue for me too, only in a single car garage. And i don't have anything other than 10amp plugs to work with ATM.
I intend on building a bench with the Dewault built into it. Remove the blade guard and blade and it's just part of my bench. So if i'm going to build a bench to suit the saw, i don't want to buy a saw I'm not happy with and have to modify everything again.
Let me know how you get on with it. The fence of the Dewalt is what i'm after, thats why i'm holding out.

Was considering the Ryobi as the fence is very secure, I believe it has a soft start as well. I'd happily pay the extra $400 for the Dewalt if it provides more accuracy. With boxes cuts have to be pretty much spot on

My first post on this site (page 1 of this thread), I said the DeWalt was too expensive and would get the Ryobi. After the last 2 posts, I now want to get the DeWalt, and will lol. Going to Bunnings tomorrow night.
I should say thanks, because you guys convinced me (as did every review I've read about it), but at the same time, there goes another $350 I wasn't planning on spending!

No idea to be hobest haha. But from what ive read, the model sold in australia works on a regular 10amp household plug.
Im pretty sure most standard household wiring is 10amp. If there was a 15amp socket (or 3 phase) youd hace a seoarate breaker box (where the fuses are) well thats what ive gathered from my google search... but i could be way off the marl so maybe someone else would be better placed answer that question.... actually, someone else would definitely be better placed...

Around last Christmas, my old Dell desktop died. It had served me well for about 7 years. I also have a HP laptop which I like which I am on now. But I used to spend a lot of time on the Dell Desktop. When I looked around for a new desktop, nothing much under a grand. I seen this Lenovo on sale reduced from about 600 down to 500 and then down to about 400. 1000gb HD 8gb Ram, but a very slow Celeron processor. The bloke at the shop said it would be slow and I probably wouldn't be happy with it. But, I didn't want to spend the grand at the time.
The Lenovo is now as slow as a snail, totally hopeless I don't like it. One day I will fork out a grand or so and buy a new desktop. Hence that will have then cost me around $1400.
There is a moral to this story,..!!

Thanks Bohdan and Sam. Valuable information. Makes sense that it would be, as from what I've read, most Australian homes are fitted with 10amp outlets. Why sell a power tool that wouldn't cope with that?

How about trying this, in between prices for you, and definitely cheaper than the dewalt.

I've always bought the best I could afford, even if I had to wait a few extra weeks, or borrow from SWMBO. My brother always bought cheap stuff, he'd end up having to buy the same tool 2 or 3 times, just to save money, and then complain about the crappy tools???
I liked the Makita, but after using one, found it a bit of a pain, tighten the bevel setting and it moves, the blade tends to wander a bit, as if the motor/blade assembly is loose.
