Who uses the T 600 R and for what
The Bernardo T 600 R / 230V is a compact bench-top vertical spindle moulder designed for experienced craftsmen who want professional Bernardo quality with a single-phase 230V domestic power supply. The 'R' indicates the standard integrated roller table (220×320 mm), a feature that facilitates smooth workpiece processing. The 2.2 kW S1 (3.0 kW S6 40%) motor provides ample torque for deep milling on standard wood types. The 2 speed levels (3,500 and 7,000 rpm) cover the most common speeds: 3,500 for medium tools (100-200 mm), 7,000 for small tools (50-100 mm) or for finishing. The robust 196 kg structure provides superior stability to the T 500 PR (99 kg), reducing vibrations during precision work. The spindle fence with anodized aluminum stops allows for quick, repeatable setups. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by experienced wood craftsmen with a domestic power supply, medium-sized woodworking shops without a three-phase power supply, and workshops that process standard pieces without the need for multiple speeds.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The T 600 R comes in two versions: T 600 R / 230V (single-phase, this model) and T 600 R / 400V (three-phase, same features). Below it: T 500 PR (1.5 kW motor, 99 kg weight) a more compact entry-level model, also in 230V and 400V; T 650 (2.8 kW single-phase motor, 160 kg weight) with 4 speeds and sanding sleeve. Above it: T 1300 and T 1300 E with a 5.5 kW three-phase motor. The choice between T 600 R vs T 650 in the 230V version: T 600 R has a larger table (700×560 vs 690×480) and higher weight (196 vs 160 kg) for greater stability; T 650 has a more powerful motor (2.8 vs 2.2 kW), 4 speeds (vs 2), sanding sleeve included. For large pieces requiring stability, the T 600 R; for multi-function use and speed flexibility, the T 650. For most craft workshops, the difference is not critical and depends on usage preferences.
Logistics and Krollit support

Who is the T 600 R for?
| Profile |
Compatibility |
Reason |
| Passionate advanced woodworking hobbyist |
Recommended |
230V single-phase compatible with any domestic socket, powerful 2.2 kW motor, roller table included. 196 kg weight offers stability for daily use. |
| Medium-sized craft carpentry workshop |
Recommended |
For standard production of furniture and furnishings on medium-sized pieces. 700×560 mm table and anodized aluminum stops allow for precise, repeatable setups. |
| Experienced craftsman with 230V line |
Recommended |
More powerful than the T 500 PR (2.2 vs 1.5 kW) with superior stability (196 vs 99 kg). For daily craft use, it is correctly sized. |
Not suitable for: workshops requiring multiple speeds (the T 650 with 4 speeds or T 1300 with 5 are correctly sized); intensive production on long pieces (T 1300 E with extensions); applications requiring tools over Ø 200 mm; workshops without sufficient space (196 kg weight requires adequate flooring).

Frequently asked questions
Are only 2 speeds sufficient for professional use?
For most standard operations, yes. 3,500 rpm covers profiling on medium tools (Ø 100-200 mm); 7,000 rpm covers smaller tools and finishing.
The 2 speeds are a compromise between machine cost and flexibility. For workshops that regularly work with tools of a few standard diameters, 2 speeds are sufficient. For workshops that frequently switch between very different tools (from Ø 50 to Ø 200), the 4-5 speeds of the T 650/T 1300 are more ergonomic with faster and optimal changes.
How much does the included roller table improve processing?
Significantly. The rollers support the weight of the workpiece as it advances against the cutter, reducing friction and maintaining a constant manual feed rate.
Without a roller table, the operator must fully support the workpiece. For pieces over 10-15 kg, this is tiring and reduces precision. The compact 220×320 mm roller table of the T 600 R is sized to handle medium-sized pieces. For very long pieces, it is recommended to add external roller supports beyond the machine.
What is the practical difference between T 600 R / 230V and T 600 R / 400V?
Only the motor: the same 2.2 kW nominal power, but one is three-phase and the other single-phase. Same mechanical characteristics, same table, same weight of 196 kg.
For workshops with a three-phase power supply, the 400V version is preferable (progressive start, more linear torque, longer motor life). For workshops with only a domestic power supply, the 230V version is mandatory. The starting current of the 230V version can reach 3 kW (S6 40%): for meters at the 3 kW limit, consider an industrial meter for continuous use.
Is the T 600 R really bench-mounted or does it need a base?
Bench-mounted with its own feet (self-supporting compact structure). It does not require an additional base: the 870 mm working height is ergonomic for standing operators.
The 196 kg weight is distributed over a stable base. For intensive use, it is recommended to fix the machine to the floor to avoid vibrations during operations with large tools. The fixing screws are included in the base holes. For workshops that need to reposition, the machine remains stable even without permanent fixing due to its 196 kg weight.
How long do the drive belts last?
In standard daily craft use, belts last 3-5 years before requiring replacement. The signal is slipping or abnormal vibrations.
Belts are standard consumables for mechanically driven machines. Replacement is a simple operation (typically 30 minutes) that does not require specialized skills. Original Bernardo replacement belts are available from stock with 3-5 working days shipping. For intensive production, it is recommended to keep a spare belt in stock.
