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

Not exactly portable though are they? The base on the old Elu TGS is
some kind of soft alloy, designed so that you can cut through it at max
width in chop mode. In table mode the fence is unstable. I wouldn't be
without mine, but accurate it ain't.

.. If space isn't a problem though I'd get one of the
Lidl/Aldi saws.
