    any photos? i wouldn't hold out much hope. i saw one once in aldi or lidl (can't remember which) and it looked truly awful, unusably so.

    Crap, sold mine after plugging it in once.

    Did the same with their bandsaw and planer.

    The drill press works okay if you can live with a bit of eccentricity in the spindle before the bit engages the work piece

    to be fair, i bought the cheapo band saw for i think 70 quid and have gotten my 70 quids worth out of it. i wouldn't call it a sophisticated piece of kit though, it's a bit meccano-y.
