Who uses the T 600 R and for what
The Bernardo T 600 R / 400V is the three-phase version of the T 600 R benchtop vertical spindle moulder, sized for professional artisans with a 400V three-phase line who seek stability and professional Bernardo quality. The difference from the 230V single-phase version is only the motor: same 2.2 kW nominal power, but three-phase. The three-phase motor has a more progressive start, more linear torque during machining, less stress on electrical components, and longer operating life in continuous use. For workshops with intensive daily use, the 400V three-phase version is the correct choice. The mechanical characteristics are identical to the 230V version: included 220×320 mm roller table, anodized aluminum stops, robust 196 kg structure. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by professional joineries with three-phase lines, artisanal workshops with intensive continuous use, and workshops that have an industrial line available.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The T 600 R / 400V is the three-phase version of the T 600 R. Below it (in three-phase version): T 500 PR / 400V (1.5 kW motor, 99 kg weight), a more compact entry model. Above it: T 1300 (5.5 kW motor, 530 kg weight, 5 speeds) and T 1300 E with table extensions. Alongside: T 600 R / 230V (same machine, single-phase motor) and T 650 (2.8 kW single-phase motor with abrasive sleeve). For workshops with a three-phase line, the T 600 R / 400V is correctly sized for daily artisanal use. For workshops requiring multiple speeds (more than 2), the T 1300 with 5 speeds is preferable, but with a significantly higher investment. For predominantly standard workpieces, the 2 speeds of the T 600 R adequately cover the needs.

Drive belts, cutters, accessories, and original Bernardo spare parts available from stock with 3-5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
Who the T 600 R is for
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate hobbyist |
Adequate |
Three-phase version requires 400V line (less compatible with typical home use). For hobby use with a domestic line, consider the T 600 R / 230V single-phase. |
| Professional joinery with three-phase line |
Recommended |
2.2 kW three-phase motor for intensive daily artisanal use. Progressive start and linear torque improve machining quality and operational life. |
| Artisanal workshop with continuous use |
Recommended |
The three-phase version is correctly sized for high duty cycle. Included roller table and anodized aluminum stops accelerate setup changes. |
Not suitable for: workshops without a 400V three-phase line (the 230V version is the correct choice); applications requiring multiple speeds beyond 2 (T 1300 with 5 speeds); workpieces longer than the table (T 1300 E with extensions); production with tools over Ø 200 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 400V three-phase version better than the 230V?
Yes, if a three-phase line is available in the workshop. Same price (or minimal difference), motor with progressive start, more linear torque, longer operating life in continuous use.
For workshops with a three-phase line, the 400V version is the technically preferable choice. The difference is noticeable in intensive use: the single-phase motor in continuous use heats up more and has a slightly shorter lifespan. For occasional use, the difference is negligible. For workshops that might switch to three-phase in the future, evaluate whether to install the 400V version and wait for the connection, or use the 230V and change it later.
Does the 2.2 kW three-phase motor require an industrial meter?
Not necessarily. The 2.2 kW three-phase motor has controlled starting current (automatic progressive start) and can be powered by standard industrial meters without special sizing.
For workshops with only one main motor of this power, even a basic industrial meter is sufficient. For workshops with other machines running simultaneously, check the available power considering peak starting currents. Three-phase 400V is generally only mandatory for the machine itself, and does not require special contractual power beyond the industrial standard.
Can I use the T 600 R without fixing it to the floor?
Yes. The 196 kg weight provides sufficient stability for most operations. For prolonged intensive use, floor fixing is recommended to reduce residual vibrations.
Fixing is particularly important when using large tools (close to the maximum Ø 200 mm) that generate greater forces. For use with medium-small tools, the machine is stable even without fixing. The fixing holes on the base allow permanent installation with standard bolts to the industrial floor.
Are anodized aluminum stops really better than steel?
Anodized aluminum is lightweight, does not rust, and maintains dimensional accuracy even in workshops with varying humidity. Steel stops are more rigid but subject to corrosion.
For workshops with stable environmental conditions, the difference is minimal. For workshops with humidity (near treatment tanks, wet processes), anodized aluminum lasts significantly longer. Anodized aluminum stops are a characteristic feature of professional Bernardo spindle moulders. Stops can be replaced if damaged; original spare parts are available from stock.
How much does the 2.2 kW motor consume in standard production?
The 2.2 kW motor in full operation typically consumes 2.2-2.5 kWh per effective operating hour. In standard production with a 50-60% duty cycle, the average consumption is 1.2-1.5 kWh per hour.
Consumption is low compared to higher-end spindle moulders (T 1300 at 5.5 kW). For workshops with significant electricity costs, the T 600 R represents a good performance-to-consumption compromise. Switching off between spaced cycles further reduces average consumption.
