What is good about thetiddles solution is that it is simple (of drawers directly on ground, seperate shelf unit, rails off walls), and allows flexibility around changing things in the future very easily. Having a roof over it does allow you to store stuff on top of it which can be useful...

I am not an expert, I am learning this type of stuff myself. But I have a few ideas. Firstly, what is the black circle on the back wall? Im assuming a window I agree with thetiddles on his ideas, in particular with having just individual drawer units, shelf unit, and then rails attached to...

If not able to post and the first responder is not able to pickup, my group of turners would very much like them and I can pickup.

Thank you, this is really really helpful!

I'm new to my little jobsite table saw, and can understand the discussions here about the push sticks. I am a bit confused about the talk on fence length, and it's not clear to me about why a long fence is bad? Here is my table saw, I can't tell if this is deemed short or long. You can see...

When mine is tidy I feel shame because it seems like I haven't used it enough. So I then use it, make a mess, then feel shame about it being messy.

Thank you to 'you know who' who sent me the below secret santa gift of a beautifully made screwdriver and bits. The photo does not do it justice - it is awesome!!!!! This is the nicest tool I own - thank you :)

I am politely calling shenanigans on the makers claim. Even if that is true (which it isnt) it is his problem as the manufacturer to have solved before selling to you. It's shoddy, poor design and poor quality. The seller is also responsible for return shipping cost too, don't let them fob...

My orders have always been good with yandles. Had one clamp die on me, and they were quickly and painlessly able to resolve the issue. So far good experience with them

Mine only came with 1 washer, and i found that if I had that under the head of the bolt that it would stick above the surface of the table. I only have 1 washer, and this screw does not impair opening the door This is a pain to get in. The trick is that the handle has a button that pushes...

I have created a poll here Aldi Bandsaw Orders so that we can see some of the information. Hopefully this'll help

Hello all, A number of us have purchased Aldi bandsaws. Some of us have been lucky with a good delivery and good product, without any issues. Other people have not been so lucky. This is a poll just to get an idea of how many people purchased and what issues arose.

I have just realised that my bottom one can slide back and forward too. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll adjust mine.

@accipiter here you go. if these aren't helpful, take a picture of your saw, and I'll copy that position when I take my photos

Is this what you're after? I can't easily take more, just let me know. This is my first bandsaw, so I am not an expert on all of this. My understanding is that its only really important to get the blade on the top roller right. The bottom wheel is less important. I found that adjusting the...

I'm not a sympathiser of companies, so I am not trying to defend aldi, but I think their support team are probably limited in what they can actually do - not via policy, but because XDP are a pile of poop and impossible for aldi customer services to even contact. Aldi should never have tried to...

I had a good play with mine this morning, mines seems to be working fine now, even though dented To get mine to cut straight and well I had to do: - adjust the tension on the blade - get the top and bottom pairs of the bearings nice and aligned - adjust the tracking on blade To get the...

I also got the bench sander saturday or sunday last week. It came by yodel to me. The picture on the aldi website is not accurate. It is grey, but me and a couple others had this one arrived. Here is what it looks like. Its a rebadged scheppach, they are the ones that provide support for it.
