Einhell Classic TC-RO 1155 E

Plunge router for simple tasks

Although the power of the Einhell Classic TC-RO 1155 E router is not the highest (1100 W is slightly less than average), but the engine of this device copes well with its functions. It works smoothly not only at idle, but also under load, and more or less keeps the speed well. The user can choose one of 7 fixed speeds (in a wide range from 11 to 30 thousand rpm). This allows you to flexibly adjust the tool depending on the density of the wood and the type of nozzle. Milling cutters, by the way, can be used in a variety of ways, since the kit includes two collets for nozzles with 6 and 8 mm shanks (the manufacturer recommends buying a set of Einhell FS-12 4350199, which consists of 12 milling fixtures most in demand in carpentry). The maximum allowable cutter diameter is 30 mm (larger ones simply will not fit into the hole in the sole). Although the tool is not heavy (it weighs 3.1 kg), you need to have strong hands to work with it. The fact is that due to the tight springs, you have to apply quite a significant effort when lowering the head of the router. But, on the other hand, thanks to powerful springs, there are no backlashes and distortions (which are a real scourge of low-cost Chinese devices).

Comes with only the essentials

The set of accessories that can be found in the box with the tool is quite standard for such inexpensive routers as this model. It has a parallel stop with rods, a safety stop, a copy sleeve and a simple compass, as well as a nozzle for connecting a vacuum cleaner. The quality of these devices is not very high (except for the nozzle), but they will perform their functions in the home workshop normally. But the power cable is frankly unsuccessful. It is hard and short (only 2 m). Therefore, if you plan to choose quarters on long boards intended for flooring, you should immediately stock up on a good extension cord so as not to rearrange the workpieces during work.
