    Nice, interested to see what Bunnings replies with as I still have a few Christmas Bunnings vouchers to spend.

    Wouldn't mind seeing a price match on this: https://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-370w-belt-and-disc-sander_…

    The bandsaw they will probably match the Ozito (https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-200mm-250w-bandsaw_p003583…) even though it's much less powerful.

    • bamzero on 05/05/2021 - 11:10
      +3

      I noticed Bunnings took the Ryobi bandsaw off the website a few days ago. They've only matched the Ozito in the last few years.

      Should probably get a price match on the Ryobi belt sander as they've done in the past though as there is no Ozito offering.

      • GirlFriday on 05/05/2021 - 11:46

        In previous deals did they just price match through the website or did you need to negotiate in store?

        • Boogerman on 05/05/2021 - 11:52

          Bunnings drop the price of their Aldi equivalent Australia wide on the website
          Expect the change any day now

      • AMLagonda on 05/05/2021 - 12:58

        I notice Bunnings doesnt seem to be price matching anymore….

          • vengeance88 on 07/05/2021 - 16:42

            @Boogerman: Hey presto, you're right! Bunnings dropped the Ozito Bandsaw from 149 to 129 in the last day or so.

        • c64 on 05/05/2021 - 17:52

          if they do match the bandsaw it will be with the lowly ozito bandsaw, not the ryobi one

            @c64: Yeah that's what I said above - although it's a cop out because the power is so much lower

  • Jenny Death on 05/05/2021 - 10:08

    Might get some more bar clamps, seems reasonably priced

      Have you used them before? I've had some cheap ones that weren't worth using because they released with a big of vibration. I've got some big nasty cast iron G clamps that are about 50 years old, but I would love something a bit easier.

    • mickeyjuiceman on 05/05/2021 - 10:31

      Mate got some last time and said they weren't good enough to be called junk.

      • mapax on 05/05/2021 - 11:07

        I got some a few years ago, the large ones are just ok, the small ones are bad. Hopefully they’ve improved in quality.

        EXACTLY the same experience with me and those POS clamps …Could not have worded it better (above)

    • Gnilgorf on 05/05/2021 - 10:45

      Aye Same here.

      Could do with a few light duty ones to supplement the medium duty ones I already have.
      More so as an 'extra hand' then holding anything major. Surely they can't be that flimsy…

      • Fappo on 05/05/2021 - 11:49

        You can get a 4 pack of small Irwin quick clamps for $30 at Bunnings. Good price and good clamps, but they're only 150mm.

    • AMLagonda on 05/05/2021 - 13:00

      I use them for small jobs, for the price they do a great job.

      • NigelTufnel on 05/05/2021 - 13:39

        Yeah, I use the quick clamps all the time for small jobs to hold things in place that don't need a lot of pressure and when I only have one hand. They're great for that purpose.
        If you need proper clamping pressure they aren't the clamps for the job.

    • jjcf on 05/05/2021 - 17:07

      They are absolute trash. The bar gets pushed out of the mechanism into the plastic sidewall and they don't work anymore.

      Don't waste your money.

    • agentsmith1999 on 05/05/2021 - 22:45

      I got the bar clamps a year or so ago from Aldi. The quality is trash. The jaw broke on one clamp the first time I used. Second one didn't last too long either.

      F clamps might be worth a look.

    • pdtmathieson on 05/05/2021 - 10:58
      +1

      I'm tempted, despite definitely not needing one. Main thing holding me back now is that it probably needs a fair bit of dedicated bench space, which I don't have

      • WatchNerd on 05/05/2021 - 11:42
        -1

        They should have one set up in store so you can try it out, just bring your own block of timber.

      • kapone on 05/05/2021 - 11:45
        +4

        I'd save your money, look for something better quality second hand.

        A lathe needs to be heavy and stable to minimise vibrations. An aluminium bed falls well below the mark.

      • BargainBadger on 05/05/2021 - 16:34

        HaHa! You're definitely getting one!

    • AMLagonda on 05/05/2021 - 13:02

      You would have to bolt the lathe down to a solid bench…

    • Janko on 05/05/2021 - 14:29

      I have some lathe work to do but was thinking of just going to the local Men's Shed which has it all set up, the tools etc, likely even the wood.

      The price here was tempting as Men's Shed do have a $100 or so yearly fee, but just another piece of equipment that will take space until I have a use for it again.

        • this for the men’s shed

  • dunebot on 05/05/2021 - 10:47

    I've got their bandsaw. Can confirm it's proven good value for money. It's compact and basic, but a heck of a lot cheaper than the alternatives. Still have all my fingers, which is a plus.

    • bamzero on 05/05/2021 - 10:53

      I've tried getting one for the last 2 years but keep missing out (obviously not something I need but would be great to have). Maybe 3rd time lucky.

    • REDRUM on 05/05/2021 - 11:09
      +1

      Do you primarily use it for wood, have you tried with metals? (are there metal cutting blades for it)

      • banana365 on 05/05/2021 - 12:08
        +2

        Even with the blade change it really needs to run quite a lot slower for ferrous metals. At the speed it runs the teeth overheat and blunt very quickly (tested it out myself, new blade lasted a few minutes). For aluminium it's fine, even with the standard blade it comes with. You can cut aluminium with most standard woodworking saws (with a little patience if it's thick as it's prone to clogging blades).

        • Bluering48 on 19/05/2021 - 12:28

          Does it cut well on acrylic?

          • banana365 on 19/05/2021 - 12:48

            @Bluering48: The general recommendation for acrylic is put the band on backwards so you're cutting with the other slope of the teeth and the teeth don't gum up with melted plastic. It's been many years since I cut acrylic and it was with a handsaw so I can't vouch for how effective that method is but it's a commonly given recommendation.

    • Madmartigan611 on 05/05/2021 - 11:37

      we got 2 bandsaws last time, my Bro's one is working fine, with mine, the Electromagnetic switch died really early. Spoke with the help desk and they advised their are NO spare parts available, so i had to return it back to Aldi. Thought about swapping the switch over myself, but then again, it would probably negate all the safety features.

  • OldBugger on 05/05/2021 - 10:54

  • Mordaunt on 05/05/2021 - 11:11

    Why are they advertising 8cm as inches?

    • c64 on 05/05/2021 - 11:16
      +2

      Throat depth: 200mm

      • Mordaunt on 05/05/2021 - 11:18

        Ok, so the 8" is the throat depth not the cutting height (which was my first glance assumption).

        • banana365 on 05/05/2021 - 12:18

          A bandsaw with an 8" cutting height is going to be a lot bigger and more expensive (starting around $1,000 for a basic one). 8" is pretty big though. The one I have (a larger Einhell one, the same guys as make Aldi tools I believe) has about a 5" height and it's rare that I come anywhere close to needing that height.

    • besmirched on 05/05/2021 - 11:17

      The throat is 8" wide.

      • Boogerman on 05/05/2021 - 11:58

      you will need to get their early, last year they flew off the shelves

    • soob on 12/05/2021 - 17:47

      Get the Ozito then, same price for now and better supported with part/blades.

      • c64 on 12/05/2021 - 18:05

        the blades are the same for both models, 1400mm. for both models, blades and parts (if any) are available on aliexpress or ebay

        the aldi bandsaw is just a rebadged Scheppach HBS20

  • solidussnake on 05/05/2021 - 11:38

      50w 4000 lumen ironhorse one is $99 at bunnings, so it appears to be great value

    • bamzero on 05/05/2021 - 12:11
      +1

      If you've got Ozito batteries the cordless worklight is great. Only rated 2000 lumens but I use it around the halfway setting and it's plenty bright.
      Got one when they were $30, haven't used a cabled worklight since. Great for camping too, flood lights the whole area.

      • tof on 05/05/2021 - 14:31

        The Ozito is $40 at the moment. Is that Bunnings price matching ALDI or standard pricing?

        I remember it's been down to $30 before last year.

          Yeh that's the normal price.

          • codaroma on 13/05/2021 - 18:01

            @bamzero: maybe caused by the recent Bunnings website update?

      • Switchblade88 on 05/05/2021 - 15:48

    • c64 on 06/05/2021 - 16:31

      yes, cheapie ones are available on ebay or aliexpress. you just need select an appropriate one (length, teeth, material) for what you want to cut.

    I forgot about this sale…… oh well :/

  • nuno on 17/05/2021 - 19:12

    did anyone get a bandsaw. None in Canberra or Melbourne. They could've all been bought.

    • bamzero on 17/05/2021 - 21:02

      What time did you go? They sell out pretty quick.
      If you're using the stock checker, pretty unlikely to find any the next day.

      Missed out before so this time I went down for store opening, they had 10 and 4 still there when I left which I'm guessing would have been gone shortly after.

    • Gnilgorf on 18/05/2021 - 15:37

      Yesm. Though I suspect they're all long gone by now.

      For reference, I dropped by the Scoresby store around 15 minutes after opening, and there were around 8 bandsaws left. As well as plenty of sanders and lathes.

      Also I happened to be taking a day trip down to Phillip Island that day and happened across an ALDI there. Popped in around 2pm out of curiosity and still found a couple of bandsaws but no lathes or sanders. Though I couldn't see an empty space where they could have been either, so maybe that store just never received them.

  • Squeezy on 25/05/2021 - 21:47

    A few still at my local yesterday ( 1x bandsaws, 2 lathes. Didnt see sanders but I wasnt really looking for them

    Anyone know if these can cut metal?

    • c64 on 18/06/2021 - 09:15

      it should be able to with a bi-metal blade. the stock blade that comes with the bandsaw is for wood
