Lidl have a Table saw on offer next week and i am thinking of getting
one. does anyone out there have one of these and is it worth buying (3
year warrenty) any feedback welcome.


I'm a little bothered by it claiming..
"Die-cast casing made from robust sheet-steel"


Not that either is ideal for much more than hand tools. A solid cast
steel bed is needed for anything approaching accuracy. Not that
accurate cuts can't be made on these toys. It is neve going to vie with
a real saw though.

But at that price it isn't bad. If you want serious DIY, get an
Elu/DeWalt flip saw. If space isn't a problem though I'd get one of the
Lidl/Aldi saws.
