Who uses the MFM 250 Super and for what
The Bernardo MFM 250 Super is the top-range multifunctional milling machine in the MFM family, sized for workshops with larger workpieces and a need for extended travels. Compared to the MFM 230 Super (the entry model in the family), it offers 110 mm more X-travel (800 vs 690 mm), 95 mm more Y-travel (410 vs 315 mm), and a wider table (1,370×254 vs 1,245×230 mm). The basic mechanical features are identical: tilting universal head, continuous spindle speed, 2.2 kW motor, ES-12 H DRO included. The higher weight (1,255 vs 1,023 kg) reflects the larger size of the structure, ensuring stability for larger workpieces. The spindle-to-table distance of 80-360 mm (vs 45-355 mm for the 230) and spindle-to-column distance of 70-540 mm (vs 135-485 mm) expand operational possibilities for tall workpieces. In Krollit customer workshops, it is chosen by mechanical workshops producing medium-large workpieces, workshops that alternate between single pieces and small series, and industrial maintenance departments working with components of various sizes.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The MFM 250 Super is the top of the Bernardo MFM multifunctional milling machine family. Below it is the MFM 230 Super (travels 690/315/310 mm, weight 1,023 kg) for smaller workpieces. Practical difference: for workshops with workpieces up to 690 mm in X, the MFM 230 is correctly sized at a significantly lower cost; for workshops regularly working with workpieces over 690 mm in length, the MFM 250 Super is a must. Comparison with UWF universal machines: the MFM 250 Super has a table similar to the UWF 80 E (1,000×240 mm) but with greater travels and a more flexible tilting head. UWF machines have the advantage of a dual spindle (vertical + horizontal) for quick changes between operations; MFM machines have the advantage of a universal head for complex angles on a single spindle. The choice between MFM 250 Super and UWF 90 V depends on the typical type of machining: multiple angles → MFM, alternation between vertical/horizontal → UWF.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South). At 1,255 kg, it requires a crane or forklift of adequate capacity. Dimensions 1,800 × 2,000 × 2,240 mm: verify access to the workshop. ISO 40 adapters, milling cutters, accessories, and original Bernardo spare parts are available from stock with 3-5 working day shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
Who is the MFM 250 Super for
| Profile | Compatibility | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Passionate hobbyist | Not recommended | Top-of-the-range industrial MFM machine. Exclusively professional application. |
| Mechanical workshop with medium-large workpieces | Recommended | Extended travels (800/410/330 mm) and 1,370×254 mm table handle workpieces that the MFM 230 cannot accommodate. Same professional features (DRO included, tilting head, continuous speed). |
| Industrial maintenance department | Recommended | The spindle-to-table distance of 80-360 mm and spindle-to-column distance of 70-540 mm allow machining of components of various heights and depths without repositioning. |
Not recommended for: workshops with workpieces up to 690 mm in X (the MFM 230 Super is significantly more economical with the same professional features); high-volume series production (consider CNC milling machines); workpieces over 800 mm in X (consider UWF 95 N with 1,300 mm or UWF 150 with 1,350 mm); operations requiring a dedicated horizontal spindle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MFM 250 Super better than the MFM 230 Super?
It depends on the typical workpiece dimensions. For workpieces up to 690 mm, the MFM 230 is correctly sized at a significantly lower cost. For workpieces regularly over 690 mm, the MFM 250 Super is a must.
The price difference reflects the 110 mm more X-travel, 95 mm more Y-travel, larger table, and 232 kg more weight. For growing workshops or those with variable needs, the 250 Super is strategically preferable: it covers all cases of the 230 plus larger workpieces. For established workshops with standard workpiece production, the 230 is the more rational choice.
What is the maximum workpiece capacity on the 1,370×254 mm table?
The table with 16 mm T-slots is sized for medium-large workpieces. The maximum weight for precision machining is typically 300-500 kg, depending on clamping and workpiece geometry.
For very heavy workpieces, the MFM 250 Super is at the limit of multifunctional milling machines; consider UWF 95 N universal milling machines (machine weight 2,200 kg, more rigid structure) or UWF 150. For small series on medium-sized workpieces, the MFM 250 Super offers a better price-performance compromise.
Can I do precise boring with the MFM 250 Super?
Yes. The continuous spindle speed, automatic feeds (0.038-0.152 mm/rev), and 125 mm spindle travel allow for precision boring up to one hundredth of a millimeter.
Boring requires low rotation speed (typical 50-200 rpm) and controlled, regular feeds. The MFM 250 Super with continuous speed from 60 rpm and fine automatic feeds is correctly sized. For higher precision boring (beyond H7), dedicated tools and specific operator techniques are required.
Is the tilting head really stable in the tilted position?
Yes. The Bernardo universal head is designed to maintain precision even in tilted positions up to ±90°. The lever clamping system offers sufficient rigidity for precision machining.
On entry-level multifunctional milling machines from other brands, the tilting head may lose precision in tilted positions (residual play, deformation under load). The solid cast iron Bernardo structure with a correctly sized tilting head maintains rigidity at any angle. Parallelism and perpendicularity checks are recommended periodically for intensive use.
Is the integrated cooling device really included in the base?
Yes. The liquid collection tank and coolant pump are integrated into the machine base. The coolant (oil-water emulsion) is not supplied by Krollit but is available from standard industrial suppliers.
Integrated cooling is a professional feature that improves tool life, machining quality, and safety (temperature reduction). On entry-level milling machines from other brands, the cooling device is an optional accessory or absent. The MFM 250 Super includes it as standard, like the MFM 230 Super.
