Landau, Germany
Home-workshop machines with the honest word « temporary » on the label
Clear positioning and European spares. The TE-BD 750 E pillar drill uses an induction motor and a tilting table at €370; the TC-BD 450 publishes its full speed range from 600 rpm, which is what decides whether large bits survive in steel.
Welding. Einhell appears on this site in grinding, drilling and air, not in welding machines — their MIG range did not survive our verification on the German market.
Someone equipping a home workshop who wants machines that will be repairable in five years without being professional in price.

450 W · 600–2,650 rpm in 5 steps · 50 mm (1.97 in) depth · €115

150 mm (5.91 in) wheels · deburring, derusting, resharpening · €46

Best for: An occasional bench grinder where the price is the deciding factor
≈ $160

A wire brush wheel on one side, which turns the machine into the fastest way to take rust off small parts.

≈ $200
200 mm (7.87 in) wheels · 400 W peak · swivelling LED · €93

Best for: Sharpening and shaping where a flat, cool grind matters more than portability
≈ $300
750 W induction motor · tilting, swivelling table · €370
