Key construction feature: the max spindle-to-table distance of 690 mm and spindle-to-base distance of 1,170 mm are significantly greater than BM Vario bench drills (440 \/ 630 mm respectively): the SBM is dimensioned for workpieces up to 690 mm high 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-laser device for centering are included as standard, as in the 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 greater vertical space. Typical application sectors: metalworking with medium welded structures, mechanical assembly workshops with large frames, prototyping laboratories for voluminous parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bernardo bench and column drill range 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 speed; \u003cstrong\u003eBM T\u003c\/strong\u003e (BM 20\/25 T) intermediate with digital spindle travel display and stepped speed; \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) column drill with greater height than BM Vario; \u003cstrong\u003eB 430 Vario\u003c\/strong\u003e medium-heavy column drill with 360° rotating table and MT 3 spindle; \u003cstrong\u003eSB 30 Profi\u003c\/strong\u003e heavy column 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).

The other technical characteristics (drilling capacity, motor, chuck, table) are comparable between models of similar capacity. For workshops with predominantly drilling on standard workpieces under 440 mm, the BM Vario is economically preferable (weight 46-57 kg vs 57-68 kg, lower price). For workshops with tall workpieces, the SBM is correctly sized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs the column structure more stable than the bench drill?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, marginally. The Ø 72 mm vertical column and 57-68 kg weight offer slightly higher stability than the BM bench drill (weight 46-57 kg). For heavy drilling applications (Ø 18-20 mm on steel), higher stability reduces spindle vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor standard applications (drilling Ø under 12 mm on mild steels), the difference in stability is marginal. 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 sized.

The SBM 20 Vario 400V has dedicated right\/left rotation; the standard SBM 16 Vario does not. For threading using a tap, R\/L rotation is necessary for automatic ejection of the tap from the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor occasional threading on SBM Vario without R\/L, it is possible to use hand taps (only require stationary spindle guidance): less precise but sufficient for occasional applications. For precision threading on steel, R\/L rotation is a decisive characteristic: manual rotation of the stationary spindle causes uneven tap torsion (risk of thread breakage). For frequent M threads, the SB 30 Profi is correctly sized 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° rotating table?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The SBM table is only tiltable ±45° (like the BM\/TB). For a table rotatable 360° around the column, the B 430 Vario is correctly sized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 360° rotating table allows workpiece positioning at any angle: a decisive feature for angled drilling on cylindrical workpieces, radial holes on flanges, prototyping work with non-standard angles. For standard applications with vertical or angled holes ±45°, only tilting 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":50696649703752,"sku":"01-1128","price":672.02,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2139\/0920\/files\/Bernardo_SBM_16_Vario_Trapano_a_colonna_con_display_digitale_e_laser_a_croce.jpg?v=1757426223","url":"https:\/\/www.krollit.com\/products\/bernardo-sbm-16-vario-drill-colonna","provider":"Krollit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
