They also have a biscuit jointer, bench moticer and a few other bits on offer, have a look [here (http://aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/offers_week41thursday08.htm)] for the rest.
They may not be the best quality but they may be worth a look. I'm going to go down and probably pick up the router table at the least. I may pick the router up too and permanently keep it in the router table to save me from having to keep fixing my other router to my DIY router table.
Stuff like this normally flies off the shelves at Aldi so I would get down there soon if you are interested. Ill let you know what I think.

I picked up the router table and bits the last time they were on sale in Aldi. For the price you cannot go wrong.
I usually pick up some of the bolt / screw and nail packs when they have them as they are very good value for money ( better then B & Q and Homebase who normally tend to rip you off for non standard screw packs ).
Never had any problems with tools bought in Aldi - much better then the gardening stuff ( strimmer dropped to bits on me last week after 10 minutes ) :dizzy:

SWEET! That table saw and table router is calling me! ;D
-
LEGEND!
Gonna spend at Aldi tommorrow, if I can just find the bloody place!

Ive told the Mrs to meet me there after work tomorrow just incase I get carried away. I wont be able to fit half of it in my FTO :D

Who do you think you are, Gary Glitter? :laugh:
I did think about putting it in that thread but I thought it would get more exposure as a separate topic with its own subject line.

Got there a 9:05 this morning, all the table saws had gone! Just wave after wave of old men with table saws at the checkout! Had an argument with an old guy over the last routing table, but got it :applaud: Grabbed the router and routing bits and a few clamps. Great heads up! But next time I think i'll go armed.
Thats right Old Man I know where you live!

nice work :)

Im going this afternoon after work, I hope there is something left :'(
There are two Aldi's near me so im going to try both.

Also, check out Lidl (if you have one). They often have good deals on for power tools etc ...
