    This is why competition is a good thing! Sadly no more Masters.

    Is this better than the aldi one? Anyone?

      Side by side - they look absolutely identical. As below - Aldi one has 2 blades, and a 5 year warranty.

        A lot easier to do a warranty replacement at Bunnings than Aldi

      • Only other difference I noticed is the Bunnings one has a rear table extension though the Aldi doesn't seem to.

      One issue with ALDI's business model is of your saw dies and you take it back you likely can't swap it for a new one​, yes you will get a refund but then have to go to Bunnings to get a new saw and prices will now be at their higher price as opposed to there match ALDI price and you will be out of pocket.

    I wish Bunnings set the cheap price not just match the price

    Hey, isn't this what Bunnings did last time Aldi was bringing out a table saw…

          seems to be a circular discussion

        • @Tiggrrrrr:

          I saw it tabled in Excel once.

        • @sabaramo: Yea but this one has legs, haven't any of you noticed? Or did you all cut them off as soon as you plugged in the saw?

    I have the older model of this, it looks pretty much identical. I would not buy it again, because the long slidy/clampy thingy that determines the width of your cut does not lock into place perfectly. So, say you want to cut a paling that is 25 cm wide down to exactly 18 cm wide… you move the slidy thing to 18 cm, but the action of locking it into place ALWAYS causes it to shift a couple of mm or more. Worse than that, as it it quite long and only locks into place at one end, if you accidentally exert any 'side pressure'/force when pushing your paling through the saw, the slidy thing deviates to the left, compromising the precision of your cut.

    So it depends on the level of precision you want (unless this later model has been improved in this respect, but it looks the same). If you want absolute precision, I doubt this saw will do it for you.

    • I think if you want absolute precision you wouldn't be buying Ozito/ALDI tools,but thanks for the 1st hand feedback.

    • Yeah, I was playing with one at Bunnings after work, $148 isn't cheap enough to replace my current MacGyver'd pile of circular saw and scavenged materials because I'd have to modify all my jigs and downgrade my fence. I would gain a much greater depth of cut and the ability to easily do bevel cuts, but it's too much work.

      • Better than my $89 Binnings saw that came with a rare-size 200mm blade. Replacements were $$$ so I bought a cheapo 185mm pack of 3 different types for 1/3 the price. Now I can cut anything, but am limited to about 15mm thick. Doh!

        I should have binned it by now. If I return to Bunnings for the 250mm version, nad end up having to run 185mm blades, will the new saw still cut 15mm material?

        Or will I have two saws ready for Binning?

        • Take them all back to Binnings.

    • You talking about the 210mm one?

      As I've said elsewhere, I kinda regret buying that for a similar problem with getting a straight cut. Wasn't until I saw this post that it's different though and now 250mm like the Aldi one, not the smaller size. Would be keen to know if the fence system has been improved too.

      I might persevere with it though; only because every search/source tells me a table saw is more precise than a circular saw plus guide. Obviously it's talking about the "better" table saws, but I have also seen those vids on YouTube where people take cheap table saws like the ones we bought and build a new tabletop plus fence system for it and then it works great, as the general saw part itself seems ok. Problem with that is all these people have great skills and other tools to do it in the first place!

      TLDR:
      * Anyone know if the fence system is improved on this vs the older ~$100 one?
      * Anyone know how to easily improve the crappy fences? (this or old one) But overcoming the chicken/egg dilemma of needing precision to fix precision?

      hehe I did use it today for something that did not need precision :P

  • Is the blade from Binnings TCT or not, the description doesn't say. If not the Aldi is the better deal.
