Wood milling machines

(25 products)

A wood router is a machine for shaping, grooving, rebating, and jointing. In this section, you will find 26 professional models: stationary benchtop and floor-standing spindle moulders for woodworking, dovetail groove routers, and a portable vertical router. Brands: Bernardo (Austria) and Güde (Germany). Prices range from €105 to €3,123, including VAT.

Unlike portable vertical routers used in hardware stores, spindle moulders are stationary machines with a fixed spindle and a cast-iron table: the workpiece slides over the fence while the cutter works from below. Superior precision and repeatability for woodworking production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a handheld router and a spindle moulder?

The handheld router is held and moved over the workpiece. The spindle moulder is a stationary machine with a fixed spindle: the workpiece slides along the fence while the cutter works from below. The spindle moulder offers superior precision and repeatability, and is the choice for joinery production. In the catalogue you will find 25 spindle moulders and 1 handheld router (Güde OF 1200 E at €105).

Which router to start woodworking with?

To start, we recommend the benchtop Bernardo T 360 (€341) if you have limited space, or the T 500 (€1,122) as a first floor-standing spindle moulder. Both operate on 230V single-phase power. The T 500 has a cast iron table and a Ø 30 mm spindle, compatible with most professional router bits.

What is the tilting spindle for on a spindle moulder?

KNF machines are compact double-spindle routing machines for dovetail joints. They are used to join frames, arched windows, sashes, and curved structures without visible screws or nails. The KNF 1 (€603) is manual, the KNF 2 (€805) has two spindles, and the KNF 2 P (€1,085) adds a pneumatic system.

What power supply is needed for Bernardo spindle moulders?

Benchtop and entry-level spindle moulders (T 360, T 500, T 600 R, T 650, T 700) are available in a 230V single-phase version. Industrial TS series spindle moulders require 400V three-phase for 4-5.5 kW motors. Check the version before purchasing: many models are available in both power supplies.

How much does a professional wood router cost?

Portable router: €105 (Güde OF 1200 E). Benchtop spindle moulder: from €341 (T 360). Entry-level floor-standing spindle moulder: from €1,122 (T 500). Spindle moulder with tilting arbor: from €2,061 (T 750). Industrial spindle moulders with tenoning carriage: on request (TS 1300 series). All prices include VAT.

Which router for which type of work

Table-mounted spindle moulders (from €341): the Bernardo T 360 is compact, with variable speed and 230V power supply. Suitable for small workshops, carpentry students, and advanced hobbyists who want to upgrade from a portable router to a stationary machine.

Entry-level floor-standing spindle moulders (from €1,122): the T 500, T 600 R, T 650, and T 700 series meet the needs of artisan carpentry shops. Cast iron table, Ø 30 mm spindle, 4-5 speeds. The T 500 PF (from €1,328) adds a sliding table for tenoning. The T 700 is available in 230V and 400V versions.

Spindle moulders with tilting spindle (from €2,061): the T 750, T 800 F, and TS series allow the cutter spindle to be tilted from +5° to -45°. This enables complex profiles and machining on shaped workpieces without building inclined jigs. The T 800 F (€3,123) also has an integrated sliding table.

Industrial spindle moulders TS series: the TS 900 F, TS 1000 F, TS 1300, and TS 1300 TC/TCE models are for intensive production. Integrated tenoning carriage, 4-5.5 kW motors, tables up to 1000 x 800 mm. Require three-phase 400V power supply.

Grooving routers (from €603): the KNF 1, KNF 2, and KNF 2 P are compact routers with a double spindle for dovetail joints. They are used for joining frames, arched windows, sashes, and curved structures. The KNF 2 P (€1,085) has a pneumatic system for faster cycles.

Portable vertical router (€105): the Güde OF 1200 E 1200 W is the only portable model in the catalog. It has a parallel guide, fine depth adjustment, and variable speed. For those looking for an economical hand-held router for occasional work.

Dust extraction and safety

All spindle moulders have a connection for chip extraction systems. Routing generates fine dust that must be captured at the source. For combined operations (planing + routing + drilling), consider woodworking combination machines that integrate multiple functions in a compact footprint.
