I bough the Aldi offer this week of a router and table, plus a few
bits, but I can't figure how to secure the router to the underside of
the table. It seems a sloppy fit at best and the brackets they supply
are in very engineering-like positions, certainly not stable.

Has anybody else figured this puzzle?

I didn't get a table, 'cos all 60 were sold in the
first 3 1/2 hours. Grr. Have you tried the help line?

They are supposed to grip the routers outer lip, I agree that holes in the
routers base would have been better.
The table is no differrent than others that are available in its
construction and router mounting.

I have a sneaking suspicion that, if you still want one, you will have
no trouble getting one tomorrow.

Here is the deal.

The router table states on the side of its box, now that I have
bothered to look, that it is compatible with routers of diameter up to
6 and 1/4 inches, however, the routers on sale next to the table have
a base of 6 and 3/8 inches; the units are not compatible. I cannot see
a way of making them compatible without a lot of fuss and the help of
a lathe or a milling machine, so both my units are going back to Aldi
tomorrow.

Pity, the table, apart from its flimsy wings and legs, seemed
adequate, as did the router.

For the life of me I cannot see the Manu selling a router of their own
brand and making a table of the same brand not fitting the router. lol

...the routers on sale next to the table have

Sorry, I just measured the base of the router again, it's 6 and
11/16th inches at maximum diameter. It won't even nearly fit the
aperture provided by the table and without some proper modifications
it will wobbles and be far too unstable for safe use.

Keep the table and go buy another brand of cheap router then.

they are normally £50-60. For £25 and a 3 year guarantee it can't be that

How much is it to rent a 900w SDS? It is probably worth just buying this
drill, and if it does 2 jobs then you are in - 3 yr guarantee so no probs.

It does mean no expensive brand name.

It depends on where you make it, the design and the type and quality
of materials used.

Looking at them I would say there is no more than £2 in components.

Quite possibly if you buy one of these really cheap ones.

However, a product at this price point is a world apart from a decent
SDS drill such as a Bosch, Makita or DeWalt.


So being cheap doesn't always equate to making no profit or being poor

Generally it does.

"It is unwise to pay too much, but is is worse to pay too little. The
common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a
lot. . . . it can't be done. When you deal with the lowest bidder, it
is wise to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you
will have enough to pay for something better!"- John Ruskin
(1819-1900)




It does mean no expensive brand name.


There is certainly a level of cost associated with maintaining a
brand. However, in the case of the leading power tool manufacturers,
it also means getting a good quality product that works properly and
safely over a long period of time without being an ergonomic problem
to use, and for which proper spares and service are available if ever
required.

I seem to recall a bunch of British motorcycle manufacturers using similar

Then we heard the same arguments about cheap Japanese cars. All these cheap

Yes, but this is a rather different game.

The vendors that you mention do produce quality products and support
them properly. Those that I mentioned certainly do manufacture in low
cost areas but use quality materials, designs and components.

What we are talking about here is simply volume manufacture and
warehouse shifting of cheap junk of poor quality, little or no backup
addressing a market for disposable products where people buy only on
price.

There's nothing wrong with that as long as people understand that
there is no backup apart from a unit replacement, accuracy and
ergonomics of use are poor and that there could well be safety issues
in some cases.

There's also nothing wrong with buying on price, but it's a nonsense
to suggest that the quality is the same as a decent product, that the
3 year warranty is a substitute for proper service and spares and that
such a product is equivalent to a quality brand when plainly it isn't.

E.g. tooled for robotic assembly.

No.. that is why they can assemble them using machines.

As much as I hate to say this but the router table is as exactly the same
as what's being offred by Ryobi,MachineMart,Trend ect.

However the tools are a joke but aimed at the once or twice used
householder who don't give a toss about its reliability, its cheap it will
drill,cut,sand and it will do for the next job is all they are worried

The one I bought has a sort of barrel type motor pointing
down, rather than being inline with the bit. It's great.
It came with some bits, and a 25mm chisel, and a pointed
breaking chisel, too. You could buy two for fifty quid,
and either keep one in case of breakdown, or use one in
each hand.

Their advert. did say they are compatible. They said "most routers"
are. Perhaps the OP just had an off day mounting the router. I've no
idea, 'cos they'd sold out by the time I got there.

Router Tables are still available at my local Aldi. ;-)

I don't misunderstand at all. Have you looked inside each type of
product and compared? There is a huge difference.

What, have you taken each product apart and compared them? I bet you
have not!

Dribble, by that wildly inaccurate comment it can be safely assumed
you have never been involved in any manufacturing industry.


The fact that you have no idea how much components costs prove you don't.
How do you think they make a profit on £20 SDS drills?

Do you think the price you pay in a shop has any bearing on the
manufacturing costs?
