Who uses the BF 25 Super and what for
Small-scale mechanical workshops, maintenance technicians, and prototyping laboratories use this drill-milling machine for intermediate operations: drilling up to Ø25 mm in steel, face milling up to Ø63 mm, slotting on the table, angular drilling thanks to the 90° R / 30° L tilting head. The Vario speed of 100–1,750 rpm allows it to adapt to different materials, from soft steels to light alloys.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The Bernardo BF 25 Super is positioned in the mid-range of Bernardo drill-milling machines. Above this machine, the range offers the BF 28 BDC and BF 30 G models with greater drilling capacity (25 mm vs. 28-30 mm) and the large BF 45 HSV / FM 45 HSV / FM 50 HSV with structures weighing 308-362 kg for industrial use. Below the BF 25 Super, the range offers the KF 10 bench series for model making and laboratories.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South). For original Bernardo spare parts, shipping in 3-5 working days from Krollit warehouse. Customer support in Italian available for technical documentation, product sheets, and spare parts order management. Krollit has been an official Bernardo distributor since 2007.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the drilling and milling capacities of the BF 25 Super?
Steel drilling up to Ø25 mm, face milling up to Ø63 mm, end milling up to Ø25 mm.
The stated capacities refer to standard unhardened steels (e.g., C40, S235). On harder materials or alloyed steels, the actual capacity may be lower: in this case, it is advisable to reduce the rotation speed and feed rate to avoid stressing the spindle and tools.
How is the spindle speed adjusted on the BF 25 Super?
The machine has a continuously adjustable Vario speed in the range 100–1,750 rpm.
The Vario adjustment allows for fine tuning of the speed to the material and tool diameter, without having to change belts or gears. For face milling of mild steels, you typically work in the low range, while for small diameter holes in aluminum, the high range is used.
What power supply and motor does the BF 25 Super use?
1.0 kW (S1 continuous) / 1.3 kW (S6 intermittent) motor with 230 V power supply.
The motor operates with standard 230 V single-phase power, available in all workshop and laboratory environments. The S6 40% rating indicates that the motor can deliver maximum power for intermittent cycles, while the S1 100% rating indicates the nominal power for continuous use.
What are the table dimensions, travel, and spindle taper of the BF 25 Super?
Cross table 550 x 160 mm with X/Y travel of 400 / 140 mm, MT 3 spindle taper, 70 mm spindle stroke.
The MT 3 spindle taper is an international standard: accessories (self-tightening chucks, milling chucks, reduction arbors) are commonly available. The table travels allow for machining parts within the effective usable dimensions (X/Y travels net of clamping obstructions).
How much does the BF 25 Super weigh and what type of installation does it require?
The machine weighs approximately 165 kg and is designed for installation on a rigid base (optional accessory) or a robust workbench, with a 230 V electrical connection.
For transporting and positioning a 165 kg machine, the use of a pallet truck or light crane is recommended. The support bench must be sized for the weight of the machine plus the workpiece being machined, ensuring flatness to avoid compromising precision.
