Bernardo Radial Drill RD 1600 x 50 β Robust and versatile
The Bernardo RD 1600 x 50 radial drill is a robust machine, designed for industrial operations such as drilling, counterboring, reaming, and tapping up to M42. With a drilling capacity up to Γ 50 mm, a radial arm with a travel of 1240 mm, and an oversized base of 1600 x 980 mm, it ensures ample operational space and maximum stability.
The ground and torsion-free column, independent hydraulic clamping for the arm and head, and hardened and ground oil-bath gears ensure rigidity, smooth operation, and long life. The 16-speed gearbox (25β2000 rpm) and 16 automatic feeds (0.04β3.2 mm/rev) allow the machine to adapt to different materials and applications.
Standard features include: 620 x 490 mm box table, lifting motor, hydraulic motor, coolant pump, adjustable guard, LED light, and professional accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a radial drill and when is it needed compared to a pillar drill?
In a pillar drill, the workpiece is moved to center the drill bit over the hole. In a radial drill, the spindle moves: the radial arm translates along the column (height) and rotates around it (angle), positioning the spindle exactly over the drilling point on fixed and heavy workpieces that are not easily moved. It is the choice for large workpieces, metal fabrication, and machining on already assembled machines.
Is the radial arm motorized or manual?
It depends on the model. Basic versions of the RD series have manual arm movement with screw locking. NC or Vario versions may have Z-axis motorization. Check the model specifications in the technical table.
What is the purpose of the right/left (R/L) spindle rotation?
Left rotation (L) allows the use of left-hand cutters and loosening of left-hand threaded screws. It is also useful for manual tapping operations where advancement (right) and retraction (left) are alternated to break the chip.
Are spare parts and assistance available?
Original Bernardo spare parts available with 3β5 working day shipping. Italian customer service available.
How much space is needed for installation?
The turning radius of the arm determines the minimum operating area. Leave free space equal to the arm's radius on all sides of the column. For machines over 500 kg, coordinate with Krollit for the necessary unloading equipment.
