How about something on the same level but cheaper. :-)

I dunno. I bought a mains drill on clearance from Argos, 'cos
it was only 7 quid or so. Biggest pile of penc I'be bought, apart
from some cheap allen keys ages and ages ago. The router I got
from Aldi, whilst not of the first water, is quite servicable.

Jeezo,

I suspect the =A31.49 extended warranty may be a wise investment....

They seem to honour the warranties too.
Have a stepper from Argos, currently on the 7th one (in about 3 months)
I think I'm going to ask for a refund.

Why? It sounds like you're getting some good exercise going to and from the
store with a heavy stepper under your arm

You can buy 12 extra bits to fit this router from Aldi,
in addition to the 10 you get with that router, for
another £5 - so £30 gets a reasonable (for this power)
router + 22 bits. Another £25 gets a die-cast table.
I'm interested in the table, as I have an Aldi router
(& a "Bosche" one too). Note, 6mm. and 8mm. bits are
becoming more generally available.

If its the same as the "Machine mart", one, and it certainly looks the
same, the guide fence is plastic. :-( but i'll take a butchers meself and
if I think its garbage I'll take it back and say..."me router is not
compatible with this bench". :-)

I got one which looks the same off Ebay, the fence is plastic. I've only
used it once so I can't comment too much, the cast table is pretty sturdy
but the fence isn't too good. Better than my old Wolf piece of crap but not
hugely easy to adjust and not very accurate.

The bolt cutters amused me, I expect they'll sell out quickly to that
certain section of Aldi customers :-) Aldi obviously know how to enthuse
them with that picture of the chains around the gate being cut :-)

Yes, me too! I laughed. I expect that next week they will be offering
a device to remove the security tags from high street shop items.

Does that photo give you the impression that the bods who took it did
not have a clue what a router table is for? The description on the table
also makes no mention of mounting the router in it!

Ask a silly question,get a silly answer.

Of course the photo bods don't have a clue about most stuff when it comes
to photographing numerous items and anyone know aldi stuff they are never
precise with details.

Especially when it comes to details like "sophisticated piece of
machinery" and "powerful, professional quality tool"

They haven't shown everything although the photo with both router and
table shows most.

- This router model has an integrated switch. Presumably the last one
just plugged in at the wall and ran.

- They show the pair of reinforced gloves to protect the hands against
the excessive vibration in operation. What they don't show is the full
welding mask and kevlar body armour (next week's offer for £5.99) for
when the thing flies apart.

Nevertheless it is "powerful, professional quality" and "in fact,
you'll wonder how you've ever managed so long without one."

Special offer. Just for you. Just today.

I am not a top notch professional.
The hammer drill bits will do for me.
