Ah cool. Dave sorted me out with an ex-demo Makita. Used it for the first time making a Mantle for the kitchen.

I am looking at buying one to make my morticed fence posts as my fence supplier will not stock. Can you tell me the width hole it makes if you plunge it in and out again?

Yep, although I know it will move side to side as required

?ok, it will do 3 cuts in the same position too ie length ways. 

[CallumA]

16mm X 53mm, 85mm and 115mm
32mm X 53mm, 85mm and 115mm
That is the width and length of the 3 cutting positions and the second figures are for the second position hope that makes sense
