Key construction feature: the TB model is a simplified version of the BM range, with a significantly lower price while maintaining Bernardo's build quality. Differences compared to the corresponding BM: no digital display, standard belt drive without additional components, simplified ergonomics. The 16 step speeds of 220-2,840 rpm allow adaptation to standard materials. The IP 54 compliant aluminum motor (0.55 kW S1 \/ 0.80 kW S6) at 230V develops the necessary power for normal daily use. The 290 × 290 mm cast iron table, inclinable ±45° with T-slots, allows for angled drilling. Typical areas of use: metal hobbyists with standard precision requirements, craft workshops with occasional use, model makers for building small frames and mechanisms, basic educational laboratories for technical schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bernardo range of bench and pillar drills is organized into 6 main sub-families: \u003cstrong\u003eTB\u003c\/strong\u003e (TB 14\/16\/20 T) entry-level with fixed B16 or MT 2 taper 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 variable speed + centering laser; \u003cstrong\u003eSBM Vario\u003c\/strong\u003e (SBM 16\/20 Vario) pillar drill with greater height than BM Vario models; \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 pillar drill with 2-stage power motor, Ø 32 mm capacity.

The Ø 20 mm capacity is sized for structural steels (S235, S275, S355) and soft engineering steels (C45, 11SMnPb30): for these materials, the machine can perform drilling at the nominal diameter with adequate quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor hard alloy steels (42CrMo4, 39NiCrMo3), the effective capacity is reduced by 20-30%: for the TB 20, the real capacity on hard steels is Ø 14 mm. For stainless steels (304, 316), the rotational speed must be reduced to 60-70% of the standard value to avoid material work hardening and tool degradation.
