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 medium-power three-phase motors, center distances up to 750 mm. The Profi series is for continuous professional use: more powerful motors, extended speeds, center distances up to 3000 mm, greater structural rigidity for machining hard materials. The suffix G indicates gear change; Vario indicates continuous speed regulation.
What do the suffixes "G" and "Vario" in the name mean?
G (Getriebe) indicates geared 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 switching 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 — Hobby and Profi Bernardo lathes include a 3-jaw self-centering chuck, live center, and basic tools as standard. Optional accessories (4-jaw chuck, steady rest, follow rest, collets) are available separately from Krollit.
Are spare parts and assistance available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 working day shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
Consider at least the center distance free in front of and behind the lathe for workpiece handling, plus 80 cm on each side. For lathes over 300 kg, coordinate with Krollit for the necessary unloading equipment.
