Milling Machine KF 16 L Vario with 3-Axis DRO DT 40 – Compact and Precise
The KF 16 L Vario milling machine with 3-axis digital readout DT 40 is designed for precision machining of metal and mechanical components. The solid cast iron base minimizes vibrations, while the DC motor ensures constant torque even at low speeds. The milling head, inclinable from -90° to +90°, offers maximum flexibility for angular milling, slotting, and drilling. The speed is continuously adjustable (50–2250 rpm), adapting to various applications. With a 500 x 140 mm table and a 3-axis digital display DT 40, the KF 16 L Vario ensures precise and repeatable machining. Suitable for workshops, advanced hobbyists, and small productions, it combines compactness, versatility, and professional robustness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the KF series and the BF/FM series in the Bernardo range?
The KF series (KF 16, KF 20, KF 25, KF 28) is the compact range: smaller tables, MT2/MT3 connections, suitable for workshops with limited space and small to medium-sized operations. The BF series (BF 25, BF 30, BF 35, BF 40, BF 45) and FM series (FM 40, FM 45, FM 50, FM 55) are the professional versions: larger tables, MT3/MT4 connections, more powerful motors, greater travel — for medium-sized parts in continuous production. The FM series has a 360° tilting head that the KF does not have.
What do the suffixes "Vario" and "HSV" mean?
Vario: continuously adjustable spindle speed without changing belts. HSV: spindle head with tilt from -90° to +90° (Head Swivel Variable). BDC: integrated 3-axis digital position display (Digital Readout). The combination HSV + Vario is the most flexible configuration for workshops working with different materials and geometries.
Is the 3-axis DRO included as standard or is it an option?
It depends on the model. Models with the designation "BDC", "DT 40", "ES-12V" or "with 3-axis display" in the name include the digital readout as standard. Models without this designation do not include it — it is available as an optional accessory. Please check the specific model description.
Are spare parts available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
How much space is needed in the workshop for the BF/FM series?
BF and FM milling machines are fixed workshop machines — not portable. Consider space for X and Y axis travel plus at least 60 cm clear on each side for safe operation. Contact Krollit for full dimensions of the specific model.
