Who uses the WB 2100 Profi and for what
The Bernardo WB 2100 Profi is a solid beech wood workbench for manual woodworking. Overall dimensions 2,120 × 760 mm, working height 860 mm (ergonomic standard for standing operators). Construction features: 40 mm thick solid beech wood panels, reinforced structure with adjustable threaded rods in the base to compensate for floor irregularities, galvanized beech bolts for deformation resistance caused by humidity. The WB 2100 Profi model is the top of the range with professional features: steamed red beech (steam-treated wood for superior dimensional stability and resistance to deformation in humid environments), oiled surface for lasting protection, rounded details for ergonomics, provision for EB 2 under-bench cabinets (accessory available separately). Drawers and decorative elements included in standard delivery. Suitable for professional carpentry workshops, vocational school training labs for woodworking arts, furniture restorers, custom artisanal furniture production. In Krollit customers' workshops, WB benches are chosen by wood hobbyists, artisanal carpentry shops, vocational schools, and home DIY labs.
Its place in the range
The Bernardo WB workbench range is organized into 3 models: WB 1500 Hobby (1,500 mm, 43 kg) compact for home workshop; WB 2000 Hobby (2,000 mm, 52 kg) standard for advanced hobbyists with adequate space; WB 2100 Profi (2,120 mm, 73 kg) professional in steamed red beech with oiled surface, pre-arranged for under-bench cabinets.
The WB 2100 Profi is the top of the range for professional use: steamed red beech wood (vs standard untreated beech of Hobby models), oiled surface (vs raw top of Hobby models), panel thickness 40 mm (vs 30 mm of Hobby models), wider vises (210/180 mm vs 140/140 mm of Hobby models), pre-drilled holes on the front for additional clamping, drawers and decorations included. For professional carpentry workshops, training labs, restorers. For hobbyists, the WB 1500 Hobby or WB 2000 Hobby models are significantly more economical and sized for non-intensive daily use.

Top-of-the-range professional bench: for standard hobby use it may be oversized. Consider the more economical WB 1500 Hobby or WB 2000 Hobby. |
| Professional carpentry workshop |
Recommended |
Steamed red beech for dimensional stability, oiled surface, 40 mm thickness, 210/180 mm vises. Suitable for intensive daily use. Pre-arranged for EB 2 under-bench cabinets. |
| Training lab / vocational school |
Recommended |
Robustness for student use, ergonomics (rounded corners), drawers and decorative elements included. For educational environments that require professional equipment. |
Not suitable for: occasional hobby use (oversized; consider the more economical WB 1500 Hobby or WB 2000 Hobby); very humid environments without ventilation (even steamed beech can deform in extreme conditions); processing with heavy machinery that generates excessive vibrations (consider specific benches for machines with dedicated bases).

Frequently asked questions
Does the bench arrive assembled or disassembled?
The bench is shipped disassembled to optimize transport volume. Assembly takes 30-60 minutes with standard hand tools (wrenches, screwdrivers, possibly a rubber mallet for some joints). Assembly instructions are included.
The adjustable threaded rods in the base allow compensation for floor irregularities after assembly (±20 mm): important for stability during work with hammers or lateral pressures on the vises. For professional assembly, Krollit can provide telephone guidance during installation. For commercial environments requiring professional installation, contact Krollit sales.
Is the top already painted or oiled?
For Hobby models, the top is untreated (raw wood) to allow customization with oils, varnishes, or protective waxes chosen by the user. For the WB 2100 Profi model, the top is factory-oiled (food-grade compatible wood oil).
Recommended oil for workbench tops: specific wood oils with resistance to moisture and stains (e.g., boiled linseed oil, hard oil, specific workbench oils). Oiling should be repeated every 6-12 months depending on the intensity of use. Alternatively, for intensive professional use, transparent polyurethane varnishes can be applied, offering greater mechanical resistance but altering the natural appearance of the wood.
Are the 4 (2 short + 2 long) bench dogs sufficient?
For standard use, yes. 4 (2 short + 2 long) allow clamping of typical workpieces (lengths up to the bench limit). For very specific pieces or work with multiple clamping positions, additional dogs are available in the Bernardo accessories catalog.
Bench dogs are inserted into the Ø 19 mm holes in the top and locked by the pressure of the vises. To optimize clamping, the following are available: short dogs (for thin pieces), long dogs (for tall pieces), special dogs with iron jaws (for metal pieces), quick-release lever dogs (for frequent workpiece changes). All dogs are compatible with the standard Ø 19 mm hole drilling.
Can I also use the bench for metalworking?
Yes, but with caution. The bench is designed for woodworking: for use with metal (e.g., filing, manual sawing of light profiles) it is manageable, but for work that generates sparks (welding) or requires a lot of force (drilling heavy metals), the wooden top can be damaged.
For mixed wood + metal work, a dedicated area on the bench with a sacrificial metal top (steel sheet) over the wooden top is recommended to protect it. For exclusively metal work, consider machinist benches with a dedicated steel top. For blacksmiths with mixed needs, consider special configurations with a metal top inserted into the wooden bench (custom work).
Is the working height adjustable?
The working height of 860 mm is fixed, sized for average height operators (170-180 cm) standing. The adjustable threaded rods in the base allow compensation for floor irregularities (±20 mm) but not adjustment of the usable height.
For non-standard height operators (below 165 cm or above 190 cm) or for prolonged seated use, a raised platform or adjustable stool are common accessories. For educational environments with users of different heights, modular platforms are recommended. Benches with hydraulic or pneumatic height adjustment are available in the Bernardo catalog as dedicated professional models.
