Underfloor Milling Machines · “Made in Germany” from Fluorn-Winzeln
Switching between router bits takes setup time: removing the bit, clamping it in place, adjusting the height, and doing a test run. The RUWI router table keeps one to ten router bits ready for use at the same time, depending on the model. You simply move to the right motor instead of having to switch setups. It’s a complete, standalone table router on casters with built-in router motors—not a mount for your handheld router. On this page, you’ll find the four models, the accessories, and everything you need to make your decision, including the limitations.

A Comparison of the Four Models
The key question: How many cutters do you want to have on hand at any given time? More spindles mean fewer tool changes and less setup time. Each cutter retains its set height, even when lowered below the table: just raise it back up and continue milling.
Prices include sales tax, plus shipping costs. The second number is the net price for businesses.
For most workshops, the Classic strikes the right balance: Three cutters remain clamped at the same time—such as a chamfer, a rounding, and a “ slot ” for a cutting board series—saving setup time on every job. It’s our best-selling model for crafts, training, and small-batch production, available upon request as a Bestseller Package with fine adjustment and a stop ruler. If one cutter is usually enough for you, go with the Basic. The Classic Performance offers more power and tools up to Ø 55 mm, while the Premium features more spindles.
All four share the same design, tool cover, dual exhaust system, and a 910-mm “ working height .” They differ in table size, number of spindles, motor power, and the largest “ tool diameter.”
Move the table to the side
| Model | Table (mm) | working height (mm) | Spindles | Engine | RPM (revolutions per minute) | max. tool diameter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 520 × 430 | 910 | 1 | 1.050 W | 8,000–25,000 | Ø 40 mm |
| Classic | 640 × 500 | 910 | 3 | 3 × 1,050 W | 8,000–25,000 | Ø 40 mm |
| Classic Performance | 640 × 500 | 910 | 3 | 3 × 1,600 W | 3,500–30,000 | Ø 55 mm |
| Premium | 1,070 × 500 | 910 | 5, expandable to 10 | 5 × 1,050 W | 8,000–25,000 | Ø 40 mm |
And if you're torn between two models: fine adjustment, a stop ruler, a curved ruler, and table extension can be retrofitted to all four models later on. Only the Premium model comes with more spindles: It is factory-equipped with mounting points and power outlets for up to ten drive units. With the Classic model, the drive unit replaces an existing spindle. So if you start with three spindles today and need five tomorrow, you might as well go with the Premium right away.
"I've been using the RUWI underfloor milling machine for commercial purposes since 2011 and am very satisfied with it. The machine often runs for several hours at a time and is very sturdy and well-built. The short setup times and compact design are great!"
From the Workshop
In our "Workshop Stories" series, we visit businesses and ask what makes them successful. The business tells its story; we listen.
Do the Math Before You Buy
Before making a purchase, there are two figures you need to consider: how much it costs you to rewire the system today, and how much the router table will actually cost you after taxes.
How much will the re-tensioning cost you today?
Four numbers from your everyday life—the results add up right away. A change means: remove the cutter, clamp it in, adjust the height, and do a test run.
Setup takes you about 117 hours a year. At your hourly rate , that comes to €7,627.00, based on 220 workdays. How much time the router table saves you depends on how many of your cutters remain clamped in place permanently. For a home workshop, it’s the number of hours that counts: time spent milling instead of setting up.
With the multi-spindle concept, the most commonly used milling cutters remain clamped in place and preset. The configurator uses your figures to calculate the results with model-specific accuracy. If you don’t have your actual hourly rate on hand, the hourly rate calculator will determine it based on wages, productive hours, and overhead costs.
Investment Instead of Purchase
A RUWI router table is an asset that you depreciate over its useful life; it is not an expense that disappears upon purchase. By using declining-balance depreciation and the special depreciation under Section 7g, you can bring forward a portion of your tax liability to the first few years. What remains in the end depends on your business.
Run some calculations to figure out how much the router table will cost you after depreciation, and discuss the numbers with your tax advisor.
Workshop Consultant
Which router table is right for your workshop?
Four models, developed and built in-house in Fluorn-Winzeln. We’ll ask you the same questions we’d ask over the phone: tasks, materials, batch sizes. At the end, you’ll receive a recommendation with an explanation, a list of accessories, and the total cost. It takes about a minute.

router table, Table Router or Router Table: What Is the RUWI router table
These terms often mean different things online. A “router table” is usually a table designed to clamp your own hand-held router underneath: The table serves as the mounting bracket, and you provide the router yourself. “Table router” is the umbrella term. The RUWI router table is an under-table router: a self-contained, roll-mounted machine with permanently installed router motors manufactured in Germany, featuring one to five spindles depending on the model, expandable to ten. Chamfering, slots, rounding, sanding, deburring, and flush milling: on wood, panel materials, plastics such as Plexiglas, Makrolon, and fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP), as well as soft metals like aluminum. When not in use, you can simply roll it away.
Compared to a router table with a handheld router, the “ router table ” does three things differently that can’t be replicated using multiplex and a insert panel: Each router bit maintains its height, even when lowered below the table. The motors maintain a constant speed under load. Tool coverage and dual exhaust systems are tested as a complete unit. If you’re building one yourself for a business or a school workshop, there’s an additional consideration: Legally, you become the manufacturer of the machine, which requires a risk assessment and CE marking. This doesn’t apply in your home garage; there, the only thing that matters is how often you use the router.
The RUWI router table bridges the gap between a hand-held router, a stationary spindle moulder, and a CNC machine: multiple cutters are ready for use at the same time and precisely adjusted for repeatable results; it handles frequently changing tasks, smaller batch sizes, and rework without the need for programming. This is why cabinetmakers and woodworkers use it for small production runs and one-of-a-kind pieces—from cutting boards with bevels, rounded edges, and recessed handles to handrails and stair treads. Industrial companies use it for rework and special cuts alongside CNC machines; apprenticeship workshops and vocational schools use it as a GS-certified machine (DGUV Test) with standard tool guarding; and businesses in the RV, caravan, and model-making industries use it for their mix of materials—including wood, plastic, and aluminum. If this sounds like your everyday work, the configurator will guide you to the right model.
Router Motor, Exhaust System, Safety
Each spindle is equipped with its own router motor, manufactured in Germany and designed for continuous operation: depending on the model, it delivers 1,050 or 1,600 W and features stepless speed control to ensure the cutting speed is matched to the material. soft start and control electronics keep the speed constant under load, while the return thread on the double-bearing steel spindle keeps dust away from the bearings. The standard motor holds the router bits via the collet Ø 8 mm, while the performance motor uses Ø 12 mm. The router motor is also available separately as a 1,050 W drive motor for replacement or retrofitting. You can find compatible router bits in the router bit assortment or via the router bit advisor.
The standard tool guard covers the router bit above the tabletop. The plastic insert ring keeps the gap around the tool small, and the guide rail guides the workpiece so that your hands remain on the workpiece. Dust and chips are extracted by the dual extraction system above and below the tabletop via a 120 mm diameter connection for stationary and mobile units. The extraction unit moves toward the active motor, and partitions in the lower channel prevent air leakage. Every router table is manufactured and tested in Fluorn-Winzeln. All other technical specifications can be found on the product pages for the four models.

Accessories: Reuse Instead of Buying New
The router table is modular. Almost everything can be added later as your needs grow, and any parts that wear out can be replaced individually.
Expansion
The drive unit consists of the complete router head with height adjustment: in the Premium model, this involves expanding the system to up to ten spindles; in the Classic model, it involves replacing an existing spindle. The fine-tuning mechanism adjusts the router bit height in 0.1-mm increments; this feature comes standard on the Classic Performance model, and is available as a retrofit kit for Basic, Classic, and Premium models—one kit per spindle—for tables manufactured starting in October 2024; We retrofit older tables in-house. The straight guide rail facilitates straight-line operations such as chamfering, slots , and rounding; the curved guide rail mills inner and outer radii, continuously; and the 3D milling unit machines multi-curved parts using two movable workpiece supports. For larger workpieces, you can mount the table extension tool-free on the side or front using the appropriate mounting kit.

The curved ruler requires the stop ruler. With the Classic Performance, the stop ruler and mounting kit from the Classic version are compatible because both tables have the same table surface.
Here's how the " router table " comes to you
Three things you'll want to know before placing your order: how your order will be delivered, what you'll need to set it up, and what happens if you need service.
Fully pre-assembled and shipped via a freight carrier
Your router table arrives fully assembled on a pallet; the Classic model measures 1,200 × 800 × 1,000 mm and weighs 109 kg. Schenker usually delivers within about three business days, or on a date of your choice—which you can arrange directly with them by phone.
Plug it in and start milling
Roll off the pallet, insert, mill: The motors run on 230 V; a three-phase connection is not required. The Ø 120 mm exhaust port fits both stationary and mobile systems. The Classic, Classic Performance, and Premium models are mounted on four castors with brakes, while the Basic model is mounted on two transport casters.
Service from Fluorn-Winzeln
We keep spare parts in stock for at least ten years after the date of manufacture—and in practice, even longer. Wear-and-tear parts, such as replacement carbon brushes and gas springs, are available individually. If a motor is no longer running smoothly, we repair it right here in-house. After the two-year statutory warranty expires, we’ll work with you to find a solution on a case-by-case basis. This is not a warranty in the legal sense; your statutory rights remain unaffected.
