Bernardo Profi 700 Top Lathe / 230 V
The Bernardo Profi 700 Top / 230 V lathe is suitable for those seeking a compact yet highly professional machine. Equipped with a 38 mm spindle bore and an induction-hardened, prismatic bed, it offers high stability and precision for machining steel, non-ferrous metals, and plastic. The three-phase motor with inverter ensures high torque even at low speeds, with continuous speed adjustment (70–2000 rpm) readable on the digital display. The spindle, mounted on precision tapered bearings, ensures a concentricity of less than 0.015 mm. The MT3 tailstock with an 85 mm travel, equipped with a 0.02 mm graduated scale, allows for accurate adjustments. Complete with professional accessories, it represents a versatile and reliable lathe for workshops and laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Profi 700 and the Profi 550/700 models in the same series?
The number in the name indicates the distance between centers in mm — the maximum length of the workpiece that can be turned. Profi 550 mm. The 38 mm spindle bore indicates the maximum diameter of a bar that can pass through the spindle hole without turning. The G gear change provides more torque at low speeds compared to belt-driven versions.
How does the G gear change work?
The Profi 700 uses a gear change (G) for speed variation: more torque at low speeds compared to belt-driven variators, suitable for hard steels and large sections. Shifting occurs from a standstill with the external lever — no belt disassembly is required.
230 V power supply: is a transformer needed for the Profi 700?
230 V single-phase — connects directly to a standard Italian industrial socket (Schuko 16A). No transformer or three-phase panel required. Suitable for private workshops, workshops without a three-phase system, and vocational schools.
Are spare parts and assistance available?
