How a Volunteer Works
The same questions we'd ask you over the phone: What are you working on, which machine, which slot? About a minute.
Recommendation with justification, item numbers, and total (net or gross). And when the honest answer is, “You don’t need anything new”—that’s exactly what it says.
As a link, via WhatsApp or email, printed out, or added directly to your shopping cart. Or you can bring it with you to your workshop consultation.
The Reason Behind It
These tools are based on RUWI : use what’s available and transform it. Our consulting expertise, drawn from thousands of workshop discussions, has been translated into tools that empower you to be independent—from us, from brands, and from gut feelings.
Read our principles →What we are asked about
Do I have to sign up?
No. No account, no form, no email address. Your answers stay in your browser and in the link you share yourself. What we track is anonymous and cookie-free: how many workshops a volunteer starts and how many they complete to earn a recommendation.
Where do the prices come from?
All prices are net prices from Fluorn-Winzeln; in each helper, you can switch to gross prices. The price in the shopping cart is the final price.
My machine isn't on the list. What should I do now?
Then call: +49 7402 8414. Or send a photo of slot the installation to ruwi —a picture often shows in ten seconds what will work. The support staff handle the most common cases, not every custom setup.
Do you only recommend RUWI?
No. The table extension finder detects whether you already RUWI an extension from AIGNER or RUWI , and then tells you: “You have everything you need.” If an adapter is all you need, it will list the adapter—not the new table. And if you don’t need anything at all, it will say exactly that.
Can I take the results with me?
Yes. You can share each result as a link, send it via WhatsApp or email, print it out, or add it to your shopping cart. Many people bring the printout with them to their workshop consultation—that way, we don't have to start from scratch.
"The initial phone call was informative … My subsequent purchase in the online store went just as smoothly."
Would you rather talk than click?
Each of these representatives will ask you the same questions we would ask you over the phone. If you prefer a direct approach: face-to-face—in person, via video, or over the phone.

Good advice starts before you buy. That’s why we have the RUWI : configurators that turn your everyday needs into model recommendations, finders that clear up compatibility questions in seconds, and calculators that lay your numbers out on the table honestly. They work just like our machines: mechanically honest, with every calculation out in the open, and no frills.
Which tool for which question: If you want to know which lifting table is right lifting table your work, the lifting table will guide you through the same questions you’d normally be asked over the phone. If you want router table a router table , you’ll end up with the machine, accessories, and the right cutters—each item listed with its part number. For the table extension the Mafell Erika, the configurator first checks whether anything is missing at all—often, an adapter is all you need for what you already have. And if you’re looking for quick-release clamps for slot , you’ll have a complete list after answering just three questions.
For the machining process itself: The milling tool advisor helps you find slot right milling cutter—whether you need one with a radius, a chamfer, or slot —from our in-stock inventory or from our catalog, which we’ll order for you.
There are two numbers to consider before every purchase. The hourly rate calculator determines what your workshop hour really costs based on wages, productive hours, and overhead—and shows you how far your current rate is from that figure. The “investment” figure— rather than the “purchase price”—shows what’s left after tax and depreciation for a machine, for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. You need to have both figures on the table before you place an order.
No registration required—every result can be printed, shared, or taken with you to your workshop consultation. And if a helper reaches their limit, they’ll tell you openly—and give you their phone number. That’s how we’ve been working in Fluorn-Winzeln since 2000.
