On sale from tomorrow is the 1200W powercraft router, it's advertised in their flyer (viewable online) with a speech bubble ...
"I just purchased a router and table from Aldi today ... they are both brilliant value"

Oh dear ...
That original post was here in 2007!!
Looks good for the price. I wonder if my dewalt router would fit onto it. Can anyone who owns a router table say if its easy/hard to make up mouldings or architrave. I need some door architrave to match rest of the house and was quoted =A365 for about 8 metres.
Noticed they also have a hefty 2800w shredder next week although I think I'll keep taking green stuff to the dump.

Does it include the bit about "the dumb instruction manual"?
Perhaps they prompty killed themselves with the router due to the the dumb instruction manual?
You can sometimes rout the edge of a wider board with a hand held router & then rip it to width.
Making architrave is certainly doable, and not too difficult. But, making a specific pattern to match existing is far harder - and a job better suited toi a spindle moulder.
You also need a powerful router (2kW) and some fairly exotic cutters to do interesting stuff without needing loads of passes with intermediate tool changes.
At that price, I would go for it!
Or they were an Aldi employee?
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Lobster saying something like:
Bit suspicious, wasn't it?
Go easy on them, lads! They weren't exactly going to quote Andy Hall:
You appear to get three featherboards and (hopefully) an NVR switch.
Axminster what look like the same plastic featherboards at 7 quid each!
