Drilling capacity Ø 63 mm and threading up to M48: the largest model in the KBM range, sized for significant industrial workpieces. 5.5 kW motor with 800 Nm torque (5 times the torque of KBM 25\/32 models) and 30,000 N feed force (3 times the force of light models): the machine develops power for large diameter drilling in heavy steels, cast iron, special materials, where smaller machines would fail. Heavy cast iron structure, weight 2,500 kg: machine dimensions 900 × 1,300 × 2,850 mm. The MT 5 taper supports large diameter tools (over 50 mm): for drilling diameters Ø 50-63 mm, the KBM 63 model is correctly sized; for drilling diameters Ø 63-80 mm, the KBM 80 model with MT 6 taper is required. Typical areas of use: heavy mechanics (forgings, castings, thick sheets), shipbuilding for the construction and maintenance of large components, aerospace and railway industries for the production of precision mechanical components, maintenance workshops for heavy industrial plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bernardo drill range is organized into 3 main categories: \u003cstrong\u003ebench drills\u003c\/strong\u003e (DMT 20, BM, TB) for craft workshops with occasional use; \u003cstrong\u003efixed-column drills\u003c\/strong\u003e (KBM 25\/32\/40\/50\/63\/80) for industrial workshops with high-capacity mechanical production; \u003cstrong\u003egear-driven drills\u003c\/strong\u003e (GB 30 TV) for precision workshops requiring superior concentricity. The KBM 63 and KBM 80 are the heavy models in the KBM range, sharing a heavy frame (table 660×555 mm, weight 2,500 kg), 5.5 kW motor, and 800 Nm torque. Differences: the KBM 63 has a drilling capacity of Ø 63 mm with MT 5 taper and M48 threading; the KBM 80 has a drilling capacity of Ø 80 mm with MT 6 taper and M56 threading. For workshops with typical tools Ø 50-63 mm, the KBM 63 is the correct choice; for workshops with tools up to Ø 80 mm, the KBM 80 with MT 6 taper is necessary (MT 6 tools are significantly more expensive and less common). The heavy KBM models are the top of the Bernardo drill range: for higher capacities, industrial radial drills or dedicated CNC machining centers are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKrollit logistics and support\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South).

HSS drill bits, milling cutters, reamers, and tapered reducing sleeves are available in all MT tapers.
