Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Master 400 Top position within the Bernardo range compared to the Profi and Standard models?
The Master 400 is Bernardo's series of heavy-duty lathes for continuous professional use: prismatic bed with superior rigidity to Profi models, lead screw and feed rod with safety limit switches, gear-driven speed change for maximum torque. Compared to Profi models (hobby-professional use): higher weight and rigidity, higher machining precision, dimensions requiring adequate space and foundation. The 3-axis DRO ES-12 V is included as standard.
The included 3-axis DRO ES-12 V — what does it measure and how is it used?
It simultaneously reads the X-axis (cross slide), Z-axis (longitudinal slide), and W-axis (compound slide) with 0.001 mm resolution. It eliminates reading mechanical verniers and reduces dimensional errors. The "diameter" function automatically calculates the turned diameter from the X position. Zero preset and divisor calculation functions are operational without programming.
Are spare parts and assistance available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
What foundation does the Master 400 Top require and how much does it weigh?
Check the weight in the technical table — the Master 400 typically exceeds 1,500 kg. It requires an industrial floor with adequate load-bearing capacity and leveling via adjustment screws. Coordinate with Krollit for the necessary unloading equipment. Customer support in Italian available.
