If your not concerned about accuracy measurements then fine.
Tis poor alignment guides that let it down.

Perhaps you should apply for the position of marketing manager for these
offers. That way, the person doing these at the moment could return to
doing promotions on bananas, which is probably more within their ability.

If you mean copywriter - then yes, I'd probably be better at it than the
current incumbent.

weeellll no. I think that the problem is more fundamental than that. It
doesn't seem that anybody who knows which way's up is in the driving seat or
for that matter anywhere in the car.

I suppose that sooner or later somebody will pick them up and they'll be
prosecuted by a TS department for incorrect descriptions.

I think they mean Die-pressed casing from sheet-steel
The Aldi one is cheaper does have a ally cast table top and has a larger
blade
Fine for making bird boxes :-)

Maybe it was robust sheet steel before Lucky Charm Mfg Co Ltd turned it
into a die-cast casing.

There probably is a Korean company of that name.

For example, the well known conglomerate, LG, actually stands for Lucky
Goldstar.

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.

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.

I suspect they haven't a bloody clue what they mean.

My Rexon table saw is susceptible to sawdust in the fence tracks. It's
fine it you keep blowing it clear and wipe the accumulated resin off the
rubbing buttons but if you're not careful it starts to slip out at one
end when dirty.

Stop trying to pretend you know the big words. Your ignorance is so
evident that you've fallen into practically the same hole as the poor
over-stretched Aldi copywriter.

How often do you ever see something that's actually cast from steel ?

How often do you see a cabinet saw frame or table that's cast from
steel, rather than cast iron ?

I presume you're not aware that "cast steel" doesn't even mean "cast",
in general engineering usage.

Oh run away from the thing before it has your fingers off.

What's it useful for, that it's not either going to be a sorry
disappointment for, or that you wouldn't be better off with either a
chop saw or a hand-held circular ?


Usable table saws currently start at 200 quid (Axminster or some of the
B&Q stuff). Below 100 it's just a waste of money for something that
just isn't worth owning.

Ripping small stuff on site. Plenty of occasions where you need the odd
strip of wood of a particular thickness. No way of doing that other than
on a portable table saw, albeit weighed down with a couple of sandbags

Just bought one and is very good. Takes a while to erect - make sure the
legs with round holes near the base are put to rear with the holes facing
backwards. Didn't get enough nuts in the pack but had some in my workshop.
The threaded holes in the sides that take a bolt were not all threaded
properly so make sure they all work before you start erecting. Having
spent ages getting it bolted together it works a treat. Make sure the red
line on the adjuster knob is set at zero and you get a perfect 90 degree
cut. Checked all cuts with a set square and angle finder and all is good.
The laser really helps. Take your time and read the instructions.
3 year guarantee is excellent but KEEP RECEIPT SAFE. I just claimed on a
Lidl pump with float switch which packed up after just over 2 years and
have a new one on the way. I kept the receipt - but nothing happens
without one. All claiming was done on-line and the service was superb.
KEEP THE RECEIPT SAFE in case.
I would guess any bad reviews you may see are down to poor setting up as
the saw works just fine..
