FYI Aldi and Lidl show SCMSs for £80. Aldi's is on Thu 7 May and,
perspicaciously (!), Lidl have theirs coming up three days before, on

They both use 210mm blades. Aldi's takes more power but that's about all
I can say to distinguish them. Lidl mention some details but not the
slide length, and the Aldi web site tells you even less than the Lidl
one.

The Lidl one apparently comes with batteries. They should help it cut
through about 0.5mm of balsa. Or maybe they are for the laser. ;-)

What I like about my similar priced Evolution "second" is that it will
also cut through dexion, or 1/8 inch aluminium. (Maybe these blades will
too).
