Table Saw

[Millet]

I bought one of these from Aldi last week and managed to put it together with very poor instructions..apart from the poor instructions i am happy with the cutting power and cut accuracy..life will be so much easier now making open mesh floors and other hive parts..

Probably.... one finger already mangled by such a hobbyists device.... so could not even give you a "sailors fairwell"

I would say a table saw does 90% of all my needs, good purchase you won't regret it, safety first mind.

I value my fingers greatly .. two push sticks at all times .. i have wanted one for years and finally took the plunge.. i bought a mitre/chop saw a few month back and with these two pieces of kit i will be able to make virtually anything i need from wood.

That's very tempting for a hobby table saw, could be tempted to replace our 1970's table which has too many failing plastic pieces.

May too be worth taking a punt on the spare blade set at £7.99

I did wonder as to add Bandsaw, but i didn't want to scare him too much I use mine for a lot of things, really love it

One of my most valuable tools is a multi cutting tool. One of those things that you don't know how you managed before you get one!

The fences on those saws are crap, I had the Lidl version. Binned it after only a few months and splashed out on a 110V Makita site table saw - far superior.

Make your own fence, first job then away you go.

Even with my 110V Evolution table saw I have to use quick grip clamps to keep the fence straight and parallel.... wish I had never sold the thicknesser I had.. to heavy to move and had to have a 3 phase converter... the lightweight table saw has the advantage of compactness... legs are useless unless a few modifications to stability are made.
Lidl also have an "ash vac" on sale... dust collector?
