Heads Up Aldi Belt/Bench Grinder

**Chambers** · 25-06-2012, 20:38

Just seen that these are coming soon. I dont have one myself but have heard good things off those who have them or similar ones. I'm told they are great little workers for not much money and can easily be adapted to include a knife jig

YEP, really good bits of kit, and around £20 for the tool and 3 years of warranty who could moan at that....

**greensurfingbear** · 25-06-2012, 21:55

Think that'd do for now

thanks for heads up mate

I use this tool soooo much on all sorts of blade related projects. So pleased I got one.

**resnikov** · 26-06-2012, 10:09

Think I might have to get myself one of these. Now all I got to do is remember when the offer is on.

**British Red** · 26-06-2012, 10:13

Me too - can someone bump this thread or remind me nearer the time??

I just programmed a reminder in my phone for the 8th july!

**Harvestman** · 26-06-2012, 15:59

I have to get one of those.

**resnikov** · 05-07-2012, 23:30

Small bump for this thread, I know its not the 8th yet but thought people might want a little reminder that its getting close.

**BareThrills** · 06-07-2012, 17:43

yep its Sunday and i notice they are also doing a gas soldering iron for £15 with a selection of tips.

Its looking like a mass BCUK outing to Aldi this sunday then

I've been picking up blocks of hexy tabs from the bargain bin at aldi's; 79p a packet!

**jacko1066** · 06-07-2012, 18:18

oooo great spot!!!!
Any idea on price?
Meet you there pete

**Silverback 1** · 06-07-2012, 20:34

This sounds like a good do, do they get delivered to every store or can you buy on-line on release of product?

**BareThrills** · 06-07-2012, 20:51

In store only and yes they go to all stores. some sell them the day before they are due too

The last heads up about these grinders appearing in Aldi there was a mad rush to buy them on here and at British Blades, then after several people lost out they started appearing on ebay.uk a week or so afterwards (not by anyone here Ihasten to add). There are some mercenary individuals out there aren't there?

I suppose a second bite at the cherry that way might be good, but it is a bit galling to see such a hike in the price, not to mention the P&P charges.

Anyway good luck those of you who go for it. Like I posted prevoiusly, I seriously altered mine to suit my needs and it's still going strong 2½ years later.

**Silverback 1** · 07-07-2012, 11:42

Was down at my local Aldi earlier today to see if i could reserve/pay up front for one of these but they weren't having any of it (staff are also included in this policy apparently)
Will have to take my chances at 10am tomorrow when they open.

The belt sander/grinder £29:99p.

**Silverback 1** · 07-07-2012, 21:07

Just bumping this thread as a reminder for those who may be wishing to purchase, stores open 10am across the board as far as i am aware.

**Silverback 1** · 08-07-2012, 11:08

Go and get 'em lads, for 30 sovs it's an absolute steal, very impressed.

**mountainm** · 08-07-2012, 13:05

Got mine this morning

**ged** · 08-07-2012, 13:13

There are at least 40 sitting on a pallet at the Alfreton store at the moment.

**Teepee** · 08-07-2012, 13:40

There was stacks of them in Corby this morning.

I'm very happy with it for the price. Its no Elektra Beckum for £30 though

**British Red** · 08-07-2012, 14:33

Got mine - thank you all for the heads up and reminders - I am very grateful

**resnikov** · 08-07-2012, 15:09

Got mine too. Big thanks tip mountainm for picking mine up. Got the set of dremel bits to, very happy with it all.

Got mine too. Just need to hammer a few dinks into it and spread some oil over so the wife doesn't sus it's yet another purchase!

**British Red** · 08-07-2012, 16:20

I confess I also bought the circular saw

Its a cheapy - but its a 1400W motor and should make short work of pallets etc.

I got one too, and managed to walk past the wife with it in plain sight, and she didn't notice.
