If you are a DIYer what are you doing without a circular saw?

Aldi have two on offer one at £49.99 and one at £59.99, they are probably cheap and cheerful but will probably do a better job than any solution using a pillar drill as a router. You never know you might even find some uses in other jobs  .

Skip the Aldi tools, get a machine mart / Clarke for the same price. Much better. I've had too many failures with Aldi stuff.
I've got an Aldi battery circular saw - superb. And as mentioned
elsewhere, ideal for this sort of job when used with a decent guide/saw
board etc.
The problem with Aldi power tools is the very high failure rate.
I've several Lidl/Aldi power tools. The only failures are batteries - 2
18V lithium failed within weeks of each other after 3 years,
replacements about 2 years old now, available online.
But they're only used for DIY. While the impact driver managed 200+
screws the other day to assemble a shed on one battery and didn't miss a
beat, I'm not sure I'd trust them for daily use. And the better Bosch
and Makita are nicer to use.
