Just got a 315mm one yesterday for the auld lad.
The bore is 1 1/8" and they come with a pair of reducers. 5/8" and a 6/8"
They are carbide tipped also.
I haven't opened the package for rust prevention reasons, so I can't say if they're sharp.
All I can say is it doesn't look really awful like the plug cutters or forstner bits in there.
Don't have the saw here to check for wobble either.
I was thinking I should have got two of them.
I bought the second last one, so guessing someone thinks they're ok
Interested to see what other folk say
Tom

Not used aldi but have used lidl blades and they have been perfectly fine.
