Who uses the T 700 and for what
The Bernardo T 700 is a professional-grade vertical wood shaper, designed for profiling, routing, grooving, and shaping solid wood and panel pieces. The 700×700 mm grey cast iron table provides lasting stability and flatness; the dynamically balanced Ø 30 mm spindle works without vibration even with profiling tools up to Ø 200 mm. The four selectable speeds (1,800/3,000/6,000/9,000 rpm) cover all applications: low speed for large diameter tools, high speed for small tools and finishing on hardwoods. The digital display provides an immediate reading of the set speed. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by artisanal carpentry shops, window and door manufacturers, and furniture makers who produce doors, door frames, decorative profiles, and assembly grooves.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The T 700 is Bernardo's professional benchtop shaper. Below it in the woodworking range are benchtop vertical shapers with smaller tables, sized for light hobby-craft use. Above it, the range extends to industrial shapers with sliding tables, multiple shafts, and equipment for series profiling. The T 700 is sized for artisanal production: 4 speeds (vs. single-speed hobby shapers), 2.2 kW S1 motor (vs. 1.5 kW for basic models), 700×700 mm table. For those doing regular profiling on doors, windows, or panels, the T 700 is the benchmark machine. For industrial production of windows and doors, consider industrial shapers with sliding tables or dedicated profiling lines.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South). At 157 kg, it requires adequate means for unloading (pallet truck or hoist). Verify access to the workshop before delivery. Original Bernardo spare spindles, collets, profiling tools, and accessories are available from stock with shipping in 3-5 working days. Customer support available in Italian.
Who the T 700 is for
| Profile | Compatibility | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Passionate hobbyist | Adequate | Machine sized for professional use: for occasional hobby use, it may be oversized. Consider entry-level benchtop shapers for occasional needs. |
| Artisanal carpentry (1-5 employees) | Recommended | 700×700 mm table and 4 speeds cover profiling of doors, frames, and furniture. Ø 30 mm spindle handles professional tools. Three-phase 400V sized for daily use. |
| Window/door production / industrial | Adequate | For series production of windows/doors, consider shapers with sliding tables and dedicated equipment. The T 700 is sized for artisanal production, not for high-volume industrial lines. |
Not suitable for: series production of repetitive high-volume profiling (consider shapers with sliding tables or dedicated lines); workshops without a 400V three-phase line; profiling tools over Ø 200 mm (maximum machine capacity).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use end mills in addition to the Ø 30 mm spindle?
Yes. Interchangeable spindles for end mills Ø 6, 8, 12 mm with corresponding collets are included. They allow the use of standard end mills without purchasing additional equipment.
The Ø 30 mm spindle is the standard professional size for profiling tools. The interchangeable Ø 6, 8, 12 mm spindles allow the use of end mills typical for wood model making and finishing. Original Bernardo replacement collets are available from stock with shipping in 3-5 working days.
How do I change the spindle speed?
Speed change is done via V-belt: open the side cover, move the belt to the desired pulley range, then close. This operation takes a few seconds and no additional tools.
The belt change system is standard on professional shapers: fast, reliable, and maintainable. The four speeds are pre-set on the pulleys: the operator chooses the correct combination for the tool diameter in use. The digital display confirms the actual speed, eliminating the risk of setting errors.
Is the spindle dynamically balanced?
Yes, the Ø 30 mm spindle is dynamically balanced at the factory. Combined with the 157 kg grey cast iron structure, it ensures vibration-free machining even with large profiling tools.
Dynamic balancing is critical for surface quality and the lifespan of spindle bearings. With large profiling tools (Ø 150-200 mm), an unbalanced spindle produces vibrations that leave marks on the surface and accelerate wear. Bernardo balancing is a constructive feature maintained in the professional range.
Is rotation reversal really useful?
Yes, significantly. It allows working in the correct direction regardless of the workpiece orientation, eliminating the need to turn the piece to avoid tear-out.
Rotation reversal (right/left) is a feature found only on professional models. On wood with difficult grain or pieces with specific symmetry, the ability to reverse the direction of spindle rotation allows for always working 'with the grain' instead of 'against the grain,' reducing tear-out and improving finish. For the production of wooden windows and doors with complex profiles, this feature is particularly appreciated.
How much operating space is needed?
The machine dimensions are 930 × 760 × 1,160 mm. For handling medium to large pieces, an operating area of at least 3 × 2.5 m with access to the front and two sides of the table is needed.
The 840 mm working height is ergonomic for standing operators. The 700×700 mm table handles standard carpentry-sized pieces; for larger pieces (over 1.5 m long), a lateral roller support is recommended to prevent tipping during routing. Krollit provides compatible roller supports as an optional accessory.
