Dai Fledermaus Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Despite some iffy on line reviews by people who have bought one in the past, I picked a Parkside scroll saw today from Lidl. The price shown was £49.00 reduced from £59.00, but when I got it to the till I found it had been reduced again to £39.00. I'm not expecting Hegner quality, but it's actually made by Scheppach, so it shouldn't be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Jones Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi, I bought one at the full asking price when they 1st went in the shop . I have used it several times now and for my casual use i am happy with it . I also noticed that they have reduced the price by £10 to £49. And wished i had waited. So for you're £39 you have a real bargain, Well done Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Molineux Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I bought one for 59 quid a few months ago and I've been really happy with it. Like you say, it's made by scheppach in Germany 😃 I've got a couple of 'parkside'' tools actually and they've all been pretty good especially for the price. Dave.

Gordon Nicol Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 they are probably all gone by now but Sunday 5 Feb LIDL have mini disc sanders on sale for £29.99 good little sander , you need to use a set square to accurately set up the table angles but it works pretty well, I have used it to square up end sections of balsa and spruce tonight I used it to sand down formica patterns/guides to cut a foam wing excellent finish and needing only a light sanding with fine wet and dry to give it an extremely smooth edge the sanding disc size is 125 mm , so your only going to be using half of that. speed is variable , up to about 3000rpm ad it is pretty smooth with little vibrations at the slower speed, but it comes witha clamp to fasten it down onto a bench or table if needed my local shop had 10 to start with, today there were 2 left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
