Bernardo Precision Profi 700 Top Lathe / 230 V with Digital Readout
The Bernardo Profi 700 Top / 230 V lathe with ES-12 V 2-axis digital readout is designed for those seeking high precision and reliability in the workshop. With a 38 mm spindle bore and an induction-hardened, prismatic bed, it allows for accurate machining of steel, non-ferrous metals, and plastic. The stepless speed adjustment (70–2000 rpm) via inverter ensures high torque and stability even under load, while the spindle with precision tapered roller bearings guarantees excellent concentricity (<0.015 mm). The tailstock with adjustable vernier (0.02 mm) enables high-precision machining. Complete with a self-centering chuck, quick-change tool post, and numerous professional accessories, it is the ideal choice for demanding 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 the bar that can pass through the spindle bore 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 variators, suitable for hard steels and large sections. Switching is done from a standstill with the external lever — no belt disassembly required.
The included DRO ES-12 V — how does it improve machining?
The included ES-12 V 2-axis DRO shows the actual position of the longitudinal and cross slide with 0.01 mm resolution — eliminating the need to read vernier scales and reducing dimension errors. Zero preset and turned diameter calculation are immediate operations without programming.
230 V power supply: is a transformer needed for the Profi 700?
230 V single-phase — connects directly to the 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.
Spare parts and assistance available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 working day shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
