    a Thicknesser? ….

      Ya, its a strange name for something that actually thins out a plank of wood. I guess it's about getting a plank to the correct thickness. I actually want one of these, hoping bunning price matches with the Ryobi one! The Aldi one this year looks like a direct rebadging of it https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-1500w-planer-thicknesser_p…

        Surely they don't go from $579 on the Ryobi down to $299? I hope they don't because I will definitely buy one at that price!

        • paulj13 on 26/03/2019 - 16:12

          Bunning doesn't like Aldi playing in their sandpit. They happily drop prices to match all the time, sometimes bigger than this. Mainly for a few reasons, Aldi's offers are short term so bunning does not have to match for long, long term customer engagement with a brand they control and want to expose more customers to (Ryobi and Ozito). They don't always do it but it would be great if they do!

          • wosdam on 26/03/2019 - 17:19

            @paulj13: Aldi stuff generally is better quality than Bunnings stuff and I'm glad aldi is keeping Bunnings on the hop.

            • paulj13 on 26/03/2019 - 18:15

              @wosdam: Totally agree. I don't plant my flag in either camp and have various products from both. Some good some not so good. Both companies offer great returns policy and the consumer wins in stuff like this. Which is rare these days.

        Just checked your Bunnings link and sure enough, Bunnings have dropped their price to match! Toddling off to get one, I reckon…

    • macrocephalic on 26/03/2019 - 15:01

      It's basically a plane that can be set to a specific height. If you're doing wood work then it's a pretty handy thing to have. No more measuring->planing->measuring->etc, just measure, set, and tool to the correct size.

      You put a rough sawn piece of wood in one side, and you get a parallel dressed surface out the other end.

      Not to be confused with a jointer.

      Sometimes you get wood that is warped or uneven or not square, or wood you want to plane down to an exact thickness. These machines do that.

    Any feedback on the fridge?

      No, I think this is new to Aldi. They did a weaco for a while but this one seems to be new range. Kings seem to have a similar size one which runs a simular spec, all be it with a split lid on theirs https://www.4wdsupacentre.com.au/adventure-kings-65l-dual-zo…

      • bamzero on 26/03/2019 - 19:06

        They do look similar, though the King one is dual zone (hence the split lid).

        The ALDI one looks like it only has one temperature setting on the panel, but adds a protective cover (and Bluetooth connectivity if that's of any use)

      • bamzero on 29/03/2019 - 19:00

        That Kings one can be had for $674.10 at the moment with the 10% eBay code PROUD.

        Nice to have a freezer compartment but looking at the pic, 3 quarters of that side is taken up by the compressor cutout anyway.

      Picked one up this week. Initial impressions are very good. Cools from room temp to 1c in under half an hour so good as a backup fridge that doesn't need to be left running like our sorry old camp fridge. Holds temp well, but cover is a bonus as the lid does get colder than ambient (not quite thick enough insulation, but typical for a camp fridge).
      Bluetooth app is simple but works as advertised.
      Also, very good value for what you get.

      • Spending2Much on 08/04/2019 - 12:18

        Great feedback.
        Would be good to know what stores have them in stock, or buy online.

  • nwbort on 26/03/2019 - 15:50

    Thanks OP. Does anyone have any experience with the Aldi mitre saw? Looks like it might be decent enough for odds and ends around the house.

    For anyone thinking of buying the thicknesser, dual blade thicknessers are a bit of a pain to sharpen as the blades are so long. You should be able to get replacements, but to make the blades last longer, take multiple low thickness cuts rather than cutting to the final depth straight off. Your blades will last longer, the motor won't struggle as much and the finish on the wood will be better.

    And if you're using something like jarrah, make those passes really light. It's tough stuff jarrah. These things are designed for soft stuff like pine.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2019 - 18:04

      If you can afford to work with Jarrah, get a damn spiral head planer.

      Screw up a piece of Jarrah and whatever perceived savings are gone.

        All of my jarrah stockpile was free (old flooring, gazebos etc.). I used the savings to buy one of these. Best tool I've ever bought! :) Hit a hidden nail once and just needed to rotate one of the cutters.

          Nice! Single phase I'm assuming?

          Whenever I run anything through the table/mitre/planers, I always put a stud-finder set to nail finder mode.

          That can be a dangerous/costly oversight.

            @[Deactivated]: Yes, single phase, that was expensive enough as it is! I bought a handheld metal detector after that little surprise. Visual inspection just doesn't cut it when you're using old wood.

            • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2019 - 14:24

              @banana365: I'm really contemplating getting that carbatec. I'm heading to their Spring valley showroom maybe next month (or EoFY).

              How's their quality?

              I'm picking a Saw Stop cabinet saw too :)

              • banana365 on 27/03/2019 - 14:29

                @[Deactivated]: The quality is fine. I'm not too happy with that design of blade guard and keep meaning to replace it with one that pivots out of the way. It's only that design because it's a convertible planer/thicknesser.

                SawStop? Jammy git!

                • [Deactivated] on 27/03/2019 - 15:02

                  @banana365: The table saw is because I need my fingers at work. I'm sure my income protection insurance would up my premiums if they knew I had a woodshop and they'd buy me the SawStop and send someone over to go through woodshop safety.

                  I have a big woodshop planned so I don't need a convertible if it has a noticeable drawback.

    Got one of the three fridges in stock at my Aldi today. So far seems pretty good.

    Found this one that is pretty much identical (apart from adding 12V output and $375 to the price tag).

    Good news is their app is compatible and a little better, can graph last 24 hours worth of temp/batt voltage and supports landscape which means I can use it on the Android deck in my car a little easier.

    • Spending2Much on 06/04/2019 - 14:54

      You bought the Aldi, but are using the Kickass app?

      • bamzero on 06/04/2019 - 15:38

        Yeah I like it better than the Adventuridge one, that looking at the Play Store, also goes by the name Xero, Transit, Mammoth, and Black Ice, all made by Companion.

        All using the same controller I guess.

  • Spending2Much on 06/04/2019 - 15:02

    No way to see what Aldi stores have stock…
    Can't order online…

    No Aldi within 500km.
