Aldi bandsaw dissapointment

[Rustic Mike]

I didn’t get my Aldi bandsaw which was a big dissapointment, but every cloud as a silver lining, as I’ve come home and the family have all had a whip round and bought me the Scheppach 550 watt bandsaw they got from them in Germany so hope it’s ok going to fire it up tomorrow as I’m waiting for the plug to convert it from a euro to a uk one I’ve set it up useing the Alex Snodgrass video off YouTube will let you know how I get on with, fingers crossed.

isn't it the same bandsaw as the aldi one? what's the difference?

 

[Rustic Mike]

No difference same one, but it came from Germany in 4 days and the Aldi one was said to have been delivered about half a dozen times, and never was, the times they said it would be delivered I was actually working on a job outside my front door so know that wasn’t true, so I said cancel it, then this turned up As a Christmas present and I am very happy up to now with it. Cost more but at least I got it.
