Bernardo Standard 165 Top Lathe with 3-axis DRO
The Bernardo Standard 165 Top is a reliable and complete professional lathe, suitable for mechanical workshops, schools, and maintenance departments. With a 350 mm swing over bed and a 1000 mm distance between centers, it allows for precise machining of medium-sized workpieces. The 8-speed transmission (70–2000 rpm) ensures quick and repeatable settings, while the 3-axis ES-12 V DRO with LCD display speeds up dimensional checks. The rigid structure with a 180 mm bed width, Ø 40 mm spindle bore (D1-4), and a 220 mm removable gap bed (Ø up to 450 mm) ensures stability and versatility. A rich standard equipment includes: self-centering chuck, Multifix quick-change tool post with 4 tool holders, steady and follow rests, faceplate, coolant system, magnetic motor brake, and CE foot brake. 1.5 kW (S1) / 2.2 kW (S6) – 400 V motor, weight 515 kg.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Standard series and the Profi series in Bernardo lathes?
The Standard series (like the Standard 165) has a monoblock structure with a prismatic bed: more rigid and quieter for continuous precision machining, with international standard D1-4 or D1-6 spindle mounts. 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: Ø bed 350 mm, distance between centers 1000 mm — intermediate dimensions between hobbyist and industrial light.
Does the 8-speed gearbox cover all typical machining operations?
The 8-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 changing the lever.
The 3-axis ES-12 V DRO — what does it measure and how is it used?
The 3-axis DRO simultaneously measures the X-axis (cross slide), Z-axis (longitudinal), and W-axis (compound slide). Resolution 0.001 mm — eliminates vernier reading and reduces dimension errors in repeated setups. The "diameter" function shows the turned diameter automatically calculated from the X position without needing to measure. Immediate setup without programming.
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 working days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
How much space does the Standard 165 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 working. For machines over 300 kg, coordinate with Krollit for unloading equipment.
