I'll take several photos this afternoon and put a link here to my web site for them so as to not clutter things up too much.
Once you take a look at 'em, let me know what else to shoot and I'll update it. fwiw, the saw guide top bar is just a flat bar, two machine screws. I'll notate that picture with a caption containing the dimensions.
And my, you're up late...

Nice cleanup there Derek and Mike.
Heres mine. Sorry about the photography. That morning sun's got me snookered.
There big bloody things arn't they. I got mine set for an aggressive cut, so its fast. low rake. Not as clean a cut, but I usually tidy up on the shooting boards from there anyway.

Neal/Outback,
thanks for the tips. I pulled it all apart, blew all the sawdust off everything and its seems to be square again.
So, the only damage is the legs of my half built stereo table are a tad shorter than planned.
Cheers,
Dan

Thanks for the pictures, guys. They helped tremendously.
I did a little more work on it the mitre box today. Cut a 1/2" thick baseboard and fabricated
the top stabilizer from 12 x 3mm steel. Now it looks like the pictures I've seen of a #358.
Here is the update:
I have tweeked it and made a few test cuts on pine. These were beautifully
square. The only downside is that it produces a little more tearout than I expected.
Regards from Perth

Hey Derek--good job!
I have two saws, one with less set and more teeth than the other. This one produces a relatively clean cut at the expense of more effort. If you look for a saw and desire a cleaner cut, make sure to look for one like that. Even less set may help.
Let me know what pics, if any, you may want and let me know via email and I'll get them shot and posted.

Glad to hear it worked out Dan. Look at it this way, you've redesigned to optimise for vertically challenged users.
Boring signature time again!

I know this is a massive bum but are the Nobex saws still the go to brand for cutting accurate angles?
Also would any others go beyond 45degrees?

I have had mine for about 15 years and it is still very accurate. Not sure if there is anything else better out there on the market now.
If you want to cut anything less than 45° you will need to make your own jig, except Veratis has a guide that will cut any angle on a table saw.
