Who uses the KF 10 HS and for what
Model makers, advanced hobbyists, and small workshops choose this machine for precision machining of small parts: drilling aluminum and mild steel components up to Ø10 mm, milling slots and small surfaces, and chamfering metal parts. The machine's compactness (50 kg weight, 520 x 480 x 750 mm dimensions) makes it a suitable solution for workbenches in home workshops, technical schools, and training centers.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The Bernardo KF 10 HS is positioned in the entry-level segment of benchtop drill-milling machines. Above this machine, the range offers more structured models such as the KF 25 D Vario (110 kg) and the BF 25 Super (165 kg), with greater drilling capacity and a larger table. Below the KF 10 HS, there are no professional drilling/milling combined machines: for purely hobbyist simple drilling uses, the TB bench drills from the same Bernardo range can be considered.
Krollit Logistics and Support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 business days (7 days to the South). For original Bernardo spare parts, shipping in 3-5 business 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 KF 10 HS?
Drilling in steel up to Ø10 mm, face milling up to Ø20 mm, end milling up to Ø10 mm.
The stated capacities refer to standard unhardened steels (e.g., C40, S235). For harder materials or alloys, 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 KF 10 HS?
The machine has continuously adjustable Vario speed in the range of 100–5,000 rpm.
Vario adjustment allows fine-tuning the speed to the material and tool diameter without having to change belts or gears. For face milling mild steels, one typically works in the low range, while for small diameter holes in aluminum, the high range is used.
What power supply and motor does the KF 10 HS have?
0.25 kW (S1 continuous) / 0.35 kW (S6 intermittent) motor with 230 V power supply.
The motor operates with a standard 230 V single-phase power supply, found 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, travels, and spindle taper of the KF 10 HS?
Cross table 400 x 145 mm with X/Y travels of 330 / 170 mm, MT 2 spindle taper, 30 mm spindle travel.
The MT 2 spindle taper is an international standard: accessories (self-tightening chucks, milling arbor holders, reduction arbors) are commonly available. The table travels allow for machining parts that fall within the effective useful dimensions (X/Y travels net of fixturing space).
How much does the KF 10 HS weigh and what type of installation does it require?
The machine weighs approximately 50 kg and is designed for installation on a sturdy workbench, with a standard 230 V domestic electrical connection.
The reduced weight of 50 kg allows for manual positioning (with two people) and installation on standard benches. However, always check the load-bearing capacity of the bench and the presence of a flat surface to avoid deflection during milling.
