Domestic manufacturer Enkor is engaged in the development and serial production of construction equipment according to modern quality standards. The company's assortment includes a wide range of machines for various purposes. The most popular is the Corvette series of woodworking machines, with which you can perform cuts, drilling, planing and other tasks.
Key Features
The manufacturer focuses on the versatility of equipment so that it can be used for a variety of purposes. Therefore, almost all machines receive common power indicators - from 1,500 to 2,200 watts. This is the middle corridor that can satisfy both the home craftsman and the joiner in the furniture factory. According to the characteristics of the processing itself, the specialists also adhered to average values. So, the cut depth is 70-85 mm, and the planing width is 200-250 mm. Most models are drilled with a diameter of 13 mm. In other words, a strict calculation for the industrial segment is not done. This is evidenced by the absence of a three-phase electrical filling in the units of the company "Enkor". Corvette woodworking machines are connected to a 220 V network and, if there is a stabilizer with a safety block, they can be used at the cottage or in the garage.
Additional functionality
Enkor machines are not deprived of a wide range of options, but there is a mandatory minimum for modern models of this level. Almost all units of this line are provided with a pipe for connecting a construction vacuum cleaner. This feature allows you to remove processing waste during operation without clogging the room. The models also have at their disposal protective systems for the engine in case of power overloads and voltage surges. For operator’s convenience, Corvette woodworking machines are provided with a degree scale on the platform and guides. Modifications of the middle and upper classes provide the ability to carry out several milling operations simultaneously. And after completing one of them, the workpiece can be redirected to processing a different format.
Reviews about the model "Corvette 320"
An entry-level machine in the series, provided with an average power of 1500 watts. Users note the presence of certain inconsistencies in the structural part. For example, the bed in the zero position does not correspond to the basic starting position in the plane. In addition, additional regulatory settings of the platform in this model is not provided. At first glance, this deviation is not fundamental, however, when performing planing, many note that the board is moving away from the given position. In the rest, the Corvette 320 woodworking machine regularly performs its tasks, realizing longitudinal and transverse cuts with high accuracy. Since this is a lower-level unit, then its cost is corresponding to 30 thousand rubles. It can also be added as a plus, despite the design errors.
Reviews about the model "Corvette 321"
The power potential of this machine is 2200 W, so it can be attributed to the middle class. Owners of the model indicate sufficient traction when working with boards with a width of about 30 cm. But almost all that concerns the electric drive, experienced joiners recommend that you carefully check before buying. The fact is that in some instances violations in the connection schemes are detected. This nuance during operation can lead to the complete failure of the power unit as soon as possible. Also, users recommend immediately updating the knives that the Corvette 321 machine is equipped with as standard. The woodworking mechanism interacts poorly with the bed platform, so its adjustment will also be required. There is also criticism of the starting capacitor. It is also represented by budget items, in place of which it is recommended to install imported analogues.
Reviews about the model "Corvette 322"
He is also a representative of the middle class, but his advantages are not in high power, but in wide functionality and an optimized construction platform. Although the power potential of the model is only 1,500 W, it adequately copes with the complex processing tasks. But it is important to consider that this option is more suitable for professional use. The owners of the unit indicate a lot of add-ons that allow you to fine-tune the mechanisms for specific purposes. On the other hand, the Corvette woodworking machine in this modification is still not suitable for hardy labor-intensive work in heavy duty. In factories he is criticized for lack of traction. Therefore, this modification should be chosen in those cases when it is planned to work in modest volumes, but with a high degree of accuracy. By the way, there are practically no complaints about the quality of the element base.
Reviews about the model "Corvette 323"
Top-level unit in the manufacturer's line. Despite the power of 2200 W, judging by the responses, the machine is compact and ergonomic. This is the case when premium equipment focuses on the domestic segment. The model is used both in enterprises and in private workshops. Although the price tag is about 90 thousand, of course, not everyone will be allowed to acquire such an assistant for home operations. Nevertheless, the owners have a negative impression of the working properties of this Corvette woodworking machine. Reviews, in particular, indicate a low-quality thicknesser and curved guides. These factors lead to a loss in accuracy during processing. The range of deviations at the ends can reach 1.5 mm. For machine tools at a budget level, this is an acceptable error, but even in the middle segment, eminent manufacturers rarely allow such deviations. But there are no complaints about the power potential. A productive motor is noted that even copes with solid rocks.
How to choose the best model?
Each of the considered machines has its own direction of use, despite the similarity of the parameters. The power potential, the possibility of changing the processing parameters, the list of operations to be performed and, of course, the dimensions of the equipment should be taken into account. Also, do not forget about the intensity of the workflow. The higher the load on the engine, the more productive the unit should be. For example, the Corvette 322 universal woodworking machine is not suitable for continuous hardwood processing, but the premium modification is quite capable of working in this mode. Obviously, for home use, it is more likely that the initial model will be the best choice, with which it will be possible to prepare a beam or logs for home improvement or repair activities.
Conclusion
The company "Encore" has many competitors offering decent machines in the same segment. Moreover, these are not necessarily world-famous manufacturers - direct competition in prices, for example, is made by domestic manufacturers like Zubr or Interskol. What are the advantages of Corvette woodworking machines against their background? First of all, the optimal combination of performance and reliability of the structural base. Of course, in the machines there are weaknesses due to the same low price tag. However, by the standards of its level, Enkor produces quite acceptable equipment.
