Components of the device - quick guide
The device is a power supply with a connected router handle. The cutter attachments are attached to the handle; their choice depends on the stage of work and the area being worked on. The machine works from the network.
Some models are equipped with foot pedals for turning on and off, or speed pedals, which make it possible to regulate the speed of rotation of the cutters by the intensity of pressure.
The pedal is not critical for manicure work. All the necessary levers and buttons are located on the power supply:
- Forward - forward;
- Reverse - back;
- Stop, shutdown;
- Speed.
It is important that the power supply delivers the required power. If it does not produce this power, then the handle does not create the required resistance, and the cutter slips. The minimum required operating power to perform manicure and pedicure is from 30 W. This information is located on the bottom of the device. We'll talk more about power below.
The power supply often contains cells for cutters and a stand for a pen. There is also a power-on indicator light.
Forward or reverse mode is switched by a lever on the power supply. If the handle does not indicate digital speed data, then the scale can be divided into three modes: low, medium and high speeds:
- Low – 5,000 – 7,000 rpm,
- Average – 15,000 – 17,000
- High – 25,000 – 30,000.
Hand – Foot - switches between control modes manually or using a foot pedal.
In models without pedals, the rotation speed of the cutters is controlled by a switch on the power supply. The speed can be adjusted in several modes or arbitrarily set to the desired number of revolutions, depending on the desired intensity in each area being worked.
Please note that some routers come with a built-in overload fuse. If large volumes of work are planned, in the salon, for example, or the voltage often fluctuates, then this nuance is worth taking into account.
The average service life of the motor is 7 years with an average flow of customers. For many craftsmen, the device lasts longer with careful handling and low workload.
The price list of professional devices is from 7,000 to 15,000 rubles. This is the optimal price combination of price and quality.
Differences between an expensive router and a cheap one:
- quality of manufacturing material;
- fewer settings functions;
- the quality of the bearings and alignment during rotation, which gives a burning sensation and vibration;
- a rougher result of nail filing;
- service life - cheap ones quickly fail;
- insufficient actual power: even at a high declared speed, the device does not pull.
