Bernardo Standard 150 Basic Lathe – 9 speeds, D1-4

Bernardo Lathe Standard 150 Basic – Compact, robust, and precise

The Bernardo Standard 150 Basic is a professional compact lathe, designed for workshops, schools, and maintenance departments that seek essential reliability and controlled costs. With a distance between centers of 1000 mm and a swing over bed of 330 mm, it precisely machines medium-sized workpieces. The 9-speed mechanical transmission (75–1400 rpm) is simple and robust; a spindle bore of Ø 40 mm with a D1-4 mounting for wide compatibility. The removable gap bed of 220 mm allows for machining in the gap up to Ø 430 mm. The equipment includes a self-centering chuck and an independent chuck, steady rests, a face plate, a 4-way tool post, a safety clutch, a magnetic motor brake and a CE foot brake, LED light, and guards. Motor 1.5 kW (S1) / 2.2 kW (S6) – 400 V, solid construction (bed width 180 mm, 455 kg) for stability, safety, and consistent finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Standard series and the Profi series in Bernardo lathes?

The Standard series (like the Standard 150) has a monobloc structure with a prismatic bed: more rigid and quiet for continuous precision machining, with an international standard D1-4 or D1-6 spindle mount. The Profi series has a gap bed that facilitates access to the cutting area and lower weights — suitable for workshops with limited space. Standard 150: swing over bed 330 mm, distance between centers 1000 mm — intermediate dimensions between hobbyist and light industrial.

Does the 9-speed gearbox cover all typical machining operations?

The 9-speed gearbox covers the main needs: low speeds for hard steel and large sections (50–100 rpm), medium for standard steel (200–600 rpm), high for aluminum and finishing (800–2000 rpm). Selection requires stopping the machine and switching the lever.

Are spare parts and accessories available?

Standard accessories available: 4-jaw chuck, fixed and traveling steady rest, clamping plate, collet chuck. Original spare parts available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.

How much space does the Standard 150 require in the workshop?

Consider at least the distance between centers (1000 mm) clear in front of and behind the machine for workpiece handling, plus 80 cm on each side for safe operation. For machines over 300 kg, coordinate with Krollit for unloading equipment.
