If its new is is not still under warrenty? incidently the cheap Aldi router still running OK my elu, bosch and Makita on the shelf, no reason only the Aldi one has the half inch bit in and cant be bothered to change it.

I think they are a good buy. My son has just bought a set off ebay (£5.00) nowhere as good as those from Aldi. Asked me to take mine round so he can finish his project.

Thanks Paul for an informative post, I have downloaded the PDF file for future reference and I think you are right with your suggestion in using a full face visor. Following your post I have checked the numerous safety glasses in the shop and none of them have any reference to EN166F and the...

4 years ago with "specsavers" at a periodical eye test, I asked them if they would test my eyes for my reading glasses using sheet music as the test card set at a measured distance from my eyes to the music stand on the keyboard to which they agreed. The resultant specs were brilliant and fit...

I don’t have a preference so I must go to the one I use more often which is the table saw. This because I find sizing my own timber is more cost effective than buying P.A.R. from my local yard and where possible use re-cycled timber. I find local builders skip more than my needs and...

I used to be anti MDF but the green is quite dense and machines well without furring on the edges takes paint well specially if sprayed. Working it is a different technique and its a stable material. I have not used poplar and from the reactions posted I should look out for some on the next...

Last week on Quest Norm was building a dressing table using ¾” ply and on the second part he visited a plywood manufacturing factory. The core of the boards was made up in poplar because near the factory it grew in abundance. The trees grew straight and high. The external faces formed in the...

Thats a much more kinder remark than the one the wife made when she saw it. thank you

Yes to both questions which is why I want to try them out on some kitchen tops

Raining and cold, had a bit of a tidy up, got bored and in a mad moment stuck an inscription on the power tool box.

I still have the receipt but I dont think the warranty would be valid as the user guide specifically states, "this product is not suitable for commercial use or heavy duty use on building sites etc." I believe it would give a good account of its self. This is a good machine for a novice to...

The Contenders I have tried my best in producing a test report for the Aldi router and quite surprised at the outcome. The reading of the magazines did not influence me in deciding which router was the best buy with one magazine concluding the DeWalt DW625E quote, “Well worth the money”...

Usage of the router is an important factor in assessing the fit for purpose of the machines. Fortunately I do keep a diary and it is possible to work out what I was doing on certain days and then I can assess what equipment used. Basically I used my Bosh till I made my router lift. The Makita...

Having set my self the task of comparing my four routers on a like for like basis after my last purchase of a cheap Aldi Router is not as straight forward as I led my self to believe. Having dug out and re-read some old woodworking magazines I am not sure they are of any help. I ask my self on...

Mike S said I think your right Mike and making the angled bocks is possible using a sinple jig

Not a big lover of Aldi, have to be dragged kicking and screaming there by SWMBO and today was one of those events. While SWMBO pushes the trolley round I relieved my boredom as is usual with all the other happy husbands congregating around the Workzone containers seeing what is on offer this...

Definitely, make sure the angle does not exceed 45 degrees.

A few of my neighbours have wood burning stoves and I should get round to installing one There is one problem with using my waste sawdust and that is when its mixed up with pressure treated material. You have to keep this separate which means emptying the camvac each time I use pressure...

They are purely decorative. I purchased them from a small ironmongery shop I discovered on the edge of the Ashdown Forest (Poo Bear country) he has a great range of door furniture both modern and antique. Most of what he sells you can obtain off the internet but looking and feeling the...
