It has a drilling capacity in steel up to Ø 20 mm and a continuously adjustable spindle speed from 400-1,950 rpm. Technical specifications include a MT 2 Morse taper spindle, a maximum spindle-to-table distance of 690 mm, and a spindle-to-base distance of 1,170 mm (significantly higher than BM Vario bench drills). It features an integrated digital display for speed and spindle travel, a cross-line laser device for hole centering, and a 305 × 305 mm cast iron table with 16 mm T-slots, inclinable from -45° to +45°, and height-adjustable with a rack. The cast iron base has polished T-slots, and a 1-16 mm keyless chuck with a B18 taper shank is included. The IP 54 compliant aluminum motor is 0.90 kW (S1) \/ 1.3 kW (S6) at 230V, with a spindle travel of 80 mm and a weight of 68 kg.

Key design feature: the maximum spindle-to-table distance of 690 mm and spindle-to-base distance of 1,170 mm are significantly higher than BM Vario bench drills (440 \/ 630 mm respectively): the SBM is dimensioned for workpieces up to 690 mm tall placed on the table, or workpieces up to 1,170 mm placed directly on the base. Continuously adjustable speed from 400-1,950 rpm: for applications with variable diameter tools, the Vario system is functionally superior to stepped systems. The digital display for speed and spindle travel + cross-line laser device for centering are included as standard, just like in BM Vario models. The SBM is preferable to the BM Vario for: large workpieces that cannot be placed on the table of a compact bench drill, applications with tall welded structures or bulky frames, drilling large diameter cylindrical workpieces that require more vertical space. Typical application sectors: metal carpentry with medium welded structures, mechanical assembly workshops with large frames, prototyping laboratories for bulky parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bernardo bench and pillar drill range is organized into 6 main sub-families: \u003cstrong\u003eTB\u003c\/strong\u003e (TB 14\/16\/20 T) entry-level with fixed B16 taper or MT 2 and stepped speeds; \u003cstrong\u003eBM T\u003c\/strong\u003e (BM 20\/25 T) intermediate with digital spindle travel display and stepped speeds; \u003cstrong\u003eBM Vario\u003c\/strong\u003e (BM 16\/20 Vario) intermediate with continuously adjustable speed + centering laser; \u003cstrong\u003eSBM Vario\u003c\/strong\u003e (SBM 16\/20 Vario) pillar drill with greater height than BM Vario; \u003cstrong\u003eB 430 Vario\u003c\/strong\u003e medium-heavy pillar drill with 360° swiveling table and MT 3 spindle; \u003cstrong\u003eSB 30 Profi\u003c\/strong\u003e heavy-duty pillar drill with 2-stage power motor, Ø 32 mm capacity.

For tall workpieces that cannot be placed on the BM Vario table, the SBM is the correct choice. For standard workpieces (height below 440 mm), the BM Vario is economically preferable (weight 46-57 kg vs 57-68 kg for the SBM).

Other technical specifications (drilling capacity, motor, chuck, table) are comparable between models of the same capacity. For workshops with predominantly drilling on standard workpieces below 440 mm, the BM Vario is economically preferable (weight 46-57 kg vs 57-68 kg, lower price).

The Ø 72 mm vertical column and 57-68 kg weight offer slightly greater stability than the BM bench drill (weight 46-57 kg).

For heavy industrial applications requiring higher stability, the B 430 Vario (Ø 80 mm column, 100 kg weight) or SB 30 Profi (Ø 100 mm column, 245 kg weight) models are correctly dimensioned.

Vario belts are of a special type (wider and more flexible than standard belts) to allow for variable diameter: original Bernardo spare parts available from stock with 3-5 working days shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use the SBM Vario for tapping?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if it has R\/L rotation (some models). The SBM 20 Vario 400V has dedicated right\/left rotation; the standard SBM 16 Vario does not. For tapping with a tap, R\/L rotation is necessary for automatic ejection of the tap from the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor occasional tapping on SBM Vario without R\/L, hand taps can be used (they only require guidance from a stationary spindle): less precise but sufficient for intermittent applications. For precision tapping on steel, R\/L rotation is a crucial characteristic: manual rotation of a stationary spindle causes uneven tap torsion (risk of thread breakage). For frequent M taps, the SB 30 Profi is correctly dimensioned with R\/L rotation and higher capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the SBM have a 360° swiveling table?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The SBM table is only inclinable ±45° (like BM\/TB). For a 360° swiveling table around the column, the B 430 Vario is correctly dimensioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 360° swiveling table allows positioning the workpiece at any angle: a crucial characteristic for angled drilling on cylindrical workpieces, radial holes on flanges, prototyping operations with non-standard angles. For standard applications with vertical or angled ±45° holes, inclinable tables are sufficient. For applications with complex angles, the B 430 Vario is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Bernardo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50696658026824,"sku":"01-1130","price":761.42,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2139\/0920\/files\/Trapano_a_colonna_Bernardo_SBM_20_Vario_230_V_con_display_digitale.jpg?v=1758011089","url":"https:\/\/www.krollit.com\/products\/bernardo-drills-sbm-20-vario-230v","provider":"Krollit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
