Default ALDI router and table.

Why would I want a 1200W router that bulky, if it only has a 1/4"

I dunno, 'cos you're kinky like that?

If you do buy it, either throw the 6mm collet (and any bits) away, or
else tape it into a sealed bag. Too many accidentally dropped cutters
if they're used by accident with a 1/4" shank.

The router table is far too small for general use. It's useless as a
way to handle large sheets for edge work. *OTOH, if you're short of
space and mostly want it for making mouldings out of strip, then it
could be just the job. The fingerboards are quite well done. It needs
to be screwed or clamped down, as it's too light otherwise. *I have no
idea what the mitre gauge is for and it's unsafe to use a table like
this without first making a couple of push blocks.


OK cheers, sounds like I'll avoid it.

Thanks.
