Which router table for you?
The key question: How many cutters do you want to have ready at the same time? More spindles means fewer tool changes – and noticeably less setup.
Basic
1 spindle · 520 × 430 mm · 1,050 W · 57 kg
If you mill occasionally or need a portable solution for a cramped workshop
Classic Recommendation
3 spindles · 640 × 500 mm · 3 × 1,050 W · 91 kg
If you frequently slots between chamfering, rounding, and slots in your daily work
Classic Performance
3 spindles · 3 × 1,600 W · Tools up to Ø 55 mm · collet Ø 12 mm
If you need more power, larger cutters, and fine adjustment right out of the box
Premium
5 spindles, expandable to 10 · 1,070 × 500 mm · 130 kg
If you’re machining many profiles without tool changes or operating alongside a CNC machine
You help router table the router table —almost everything can be added later: additional drive motors, fine-tuning, table extension and a rip fence. You start small and expand as your needs grow.
For most workshops, the Classic hits the sweet spot: three cutters stay clamped at the same time, which saves you constant retooling – it's the proven all-rounder for crafts, training, and small-batch production. If you only need a router occasionally, the Basic is enough. You get more power and spindles with Performance and Premium.

router table – The Portable Table Router for Woodworking Professionals
Chamfering, slots, rounding, sanding, deburring, face milling: The RUWI router table a mobile table router with built-in routers that lets you machine wood, plastic, and soft metals on a sturdy table—and simply roll it away when not in use. Whether as a supplement to a stationary bench router or CNC router, or as a standalone solution for crafts and industry: Thanks to the multi-spindle design, you have multiple cutters ready for use at the same time, saving you the hassle of constantly changing tools.
router table, table router, or router table—what's the difference?
These three terms often have different meanings online. In the DIY sector, a “rout table” usually refers to a table designed to hold your own handheld router—the table is just the mounting surface; you provide the router yourself. If that’s exactly what you’re looking for for occasional projects, a simple rout table is a more suitable and affordable choice than a RUWI .
The RUWI router table something different: an under-table router with permanently installed “Made in Germany” router motors, designed for daily use. Depending on the model, there are one to five spindles under the table—expandable to ten—so that multiple cutters can remain clamped in place at the same time, allowing you to switch from one task to the next without having to retool. “Table router” is the general term; here, it refers to this standalone machine that can be moved on casters, not the handheld router that’s clamped underneath.
An Overview of the Four Models
The RUWI router table in four models—ranging from single-spindle to five-spindle (expandable to ten). All models share the same design, safety features, and modular expandability; they differ in table size, number of spindles, and motor power.

The RUWI
Every router table a “Made in Germany” router motor designed for continuous use—with a power rating of 1,050 or 1,600 W, depending on the model. The stepless speed control (8,000–25,000 or 3,500–30,000 rpm) allows you to adjust the cutting speed to suit the material. soft start overload protection prevent jerky starts and keep the speed constant under load; a counter-rotating return screw protects the bearings from dust, while the double ball bearings ensure smooth, even rotation.
As a guideline for the speed: sand a softwood edge (Ø 15 mm) at around 8,000 rpm to remove burn marks, flush-milling multiplex (Ø 19 mm) at 18,000–22,000, cutting aslot particleboard (Ø 40 mm) at a maximum of 18,000, and rounding or chamfering plastic edges at around 12,000 to prevent the material from smearing.

Dual Dust Extraction
The router table dust and chips right where they’re produced—above and below the tabletop. The 120-mm connector fits both stationary and mobile extraction systems; the extraction unit moves toward the active router motor, and dividers in the lower channel prevent air leakage. An automatic start function that activates the dust collection system when the router is turned on is available as an option. This protects your respiratory system, keeps the workpiece and workshop clean, and reduces dust exposure to the motor and electronics. The dust collection system is DGUV-certified.
| Vacuum connection | Ø 120 mm |
| Airflow | approx. 170–230 m³/h at 20 m/s |
| Negative pressure (20 m/s) | < 1.000 Pa |

Why choose a RUWI router table a stationary table router?
The most important difference is the multi-spindle design: multiple cutters are ready for use at the same time, which significantly reduces setup time. Added to this are its mobility on casters and its compact design. Traditional stationary spindle routers have an advantage when it comes to very large router heads, but they require more space and involve a more time-consuming setup process. For frequently changing milling tasks and smaller batch sizes, the RUWI router table isrouter table more practical option.
