According to our woodworking router expert
The Ferm PRM1015 is a woodworking router which you can use for occasional or hobby woodworking. It has a variable speed, so you can adjust the speed to the material you work on. This way, you prevent burning. In addition to the speed, the cutting depth is also accurately adjustable. The LED lighting ensures you can also work in dark spaces. You can vacuum the dust with an external vacuum. The PRM1015 comes with 6 cutters, so you get a complete set. The ergonomic handle with soft grip makes this woodworking router complete.

I was looking for a machine that is not too expensive but which has a lot on it. I use it to do odd jobs at home. At the moment we have professional milling cutters, there is a lot of difference, but they are also 5 times as expensive.
In short, for home use, hobby and odd jobs, it is an excellent and complete device for a nice price.

Usually I go for the more expensive and more reliable brands, I always say you get what you pay for, but since I saw this FERM milling cutter in a good offer and didn't want to spend much more than that at that moment I thought "we'll try it, I won't need it that often." If only I had saved a little more...
At first glance, the device looks robust and sturdy, and that's how it feels when you take it in your hands. But as soon as you take a closer look and start adjusting by turning a set of bolts, you notice that especially this has been saved. Without even using the device, there appeared to be a small break in the plastic of the set screw for the depth adjustment. And speaking of the depth setting, a rod that can be slid back and forth with a separate plastic indicator holder to set the milling depth. A simple and effective way which in this case requires quality since the rod already skews when tightening the clamp bolt.
You get what you pay for I can already hear you say, and that is clear. However, it doesn't bother me that it's all a bit cheaper, I knew that when I bought it, it bothers me that we are talking about a precision device that is anything but precise due to design and manufacturing savings. When you mill a lock case, for example, you really don't want to run out half a CM, and here too it goes wrong with this router when using the supplied guide. This does not run straight when mounted in the bottom plate, unless you measure yourself and then forcefully adjust and fix it. And this is what it ultimately comes down to, names. Measure, measure and measure again, with every setting and adjustment you make, measure and adjust, because you absolutely cannot rely on the accuracy of the device.
So I can't recommend it as a router, but if you are looking for a powerful router that you are willing to modify, or want to mount under a router table, then you can probably work with this.

Ordered this milling machine and as usual it was delivered the next day. Perfectly arranged at Coolblue. Unfortunately the wooden box was broken with the 6 accompanying cutters, it was a bit crammed into the box. This does not alter the fact that I have used the machine immediately and to my satisfaction. Mills nicely and holds well, the lighting is also a nice extra. Had an ELU milling machine before, but it gave up after almost 20 years. I must say that this Frem is clearly no less than my old ELU. Overall, highly recommended, especially for the price.
