Bernardo Hobby 800 G / 400 V Lathe
The Bernardo Hobby 800 G / 400 V lathe is designed for advanced hobbyists and small workshops seeking precision and stability in mechanical machining. With a distance between centers of 750 mm and a swing over bed of 330 mm, it allows for the machining of medium-sized workpieces. The 38 mm spindle bore with MT5 taper and the gear change with 12 speeds from 70 to 1800 rpm ensure flexible use. Equipped with automatic longitudinal and cross feeds with numerous combinations, it allows for metric and imperial threading. The machine is fitted with an LED light, chip tray, and safety guards for practical and reliable operation. With a weight of 268 kg and a 1.1 kW motor, it represents a robust and durable lathe, suitable for workshop applications and professional model making.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Hobby and Profi in the Bernardo lathe range?
The Hobby series is designed for advanced hobbyists and small workshops: lower speeds, single-phase or three-phase motors of medium power, distances between centers up to 750 mm. The Profi series is for continuous professional use: more powerful motors, extended speeds, distances between centers up to 3000 mm, greater structural rigidity for machining hard materials. The suffix G indicates gear change; Vario indicates continuous speed adjustment.
What do the suffixes "G" and "Vario" in the name mean?
G (Getriebe) indicates gear speed change — more torque at low speeds, suitable for hard steels and large sections. Vario indicates continuous mechanical variator — speed can be adjusted without stopping the machine, suitable for quickly alternating between roughing and finishing. Vario models have less torque at low speeds than G models, but more operational flexibility.
Is the 3-jaw self-centering chuck included as standard?
Yes — Bernardo Hobby and Profi lathes include a 3-jaw self-centering chuck, a revolving tailstock, and basic tools as standard. Optional accessories (4-jaw chuck, steady rest, follower rest, collets) are available separately from Krollit.
Spare parts and assistance available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer assistance available in Italian.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
Consider at least the distance between centers clear in front and behind the lathe for workpiece handling, plus 80 cm on each side. For lathes over 300 kg, coordinate with Krollit for necessary unloading equipment.
