Good Link

Very cheap mitre saw!

Oh, and does the German Salami come with english instructions?

dont think you can go far wrong with cheap tools from aldi/lidls

if you thrash them and they break you get your money back
if they keep going you have a cheap reliable tool

There are some great bargains there

Someone was asking about a biscuit jointer a few days back!

It was that that made me post it

.

Make great comp. prize together with the router

I couldn't really give those away for prizes as the likelyhood of them breaking is high and posting something like the router would probably be £10 ish.

Next month is the sites third birthday and so I will find a few extrs prizes for a one off competition

I have a Parkside orbital sander from lidl. Its still going, seems to be of good build quality!

My parents have put the same sander through hell after their black and decker one died after a few jobs and its still going!

I keep looking out for more tools whenever I go there, they are always handy for those dirty jobs....

UHM,
Is it any good?
I bought hubby a mitre saw from there and there's nothing wrong with it.
Lidl is good too.
Aldi's Moser Roth chocolate is heavenly and cheap, a great addition to any tool bag!
