Default Aldi specials.

Not things for normal electronics, but more, big boys toys. Might be of use to some folks
Table saw circa £90. SDS drill, circa £30 and a selection of drills & hole cutters. Also a tap & die set.

I bought a full size bench top pillar drill from Aldi. It even has a 9 speed pulley set on it.
If you need one keep a look out for when they are in as you will save a lot on shipping as they are heavy.
It was about 50 or 60 quid if I can remember rightly.

Watch out with taps and dies - I had some similar which would just about clean up a rusty existing thread, but nothing more Dies are not split, which makes cutting a new thread (and adjusting the fit) rather difficult. Though with a thin disk in an angle grinder you could split them, and see how you got on. Bit like hacksaw blades - another cutting tool where cheap ones tend (unfortunately) not to work.

I have had junior hacksaw blades from a flea market that were just made of mild steel.
They went blunt as soon as they touched anything.
