Lidl Router
« on: December 14, 2014, 12:28:13 AM »
Gentlemen

I've  seen that Lidl are advertising a Router at £29.99

That would  appear to be an excellent price if it was any good!

Does anybody have experience of this tool, please?

Is  it worth buying? Does it come in a case (like many of Lidl/Parkside powertools) or just a cardboard box?

I  will value your  reviews and comments

With best wishes and thanks.

Hi Just a couple of questions before I can really advise correcty, how much use is it going to be having, also what is it going to be used for?
  I made a router table with one of these below which work really well, please check the specs as I feel for the same kind of money this may be a better option.

Hope this is of some help, feel free to contact me for any further information,

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
 
I  doubt that I  would  get much use out of a router but my attitude to Lidl is  that I  often buy something when it's on offer [and cheap]  since it may never re-appear. I  bought a Sabre saw from  Aldi for £12.50 without knowing exactly what I  would  use it for but have subsequently found it invaluable.

Since Screwfix have a couple of routers at the same sort of price, I'll  wait until I  actually need one to do a job

With best wishes and thanks again.
