Frequently Asked Questions
What cutting capacity does the HBS 500 N offer?
See "Cutting width" and "Cutting height" in the technical table: typically 225-305 mm in width and 95-170 mm in height for benchtop/semi-pro models.
The cutting width is the distance between the blade and the machine throat. The cutting height determines the maximum thickness of the workpiece. For resawing large pieces (250+ mm), professional models with Ø 500+ mm flywheels are needed.
Does it have multiple cutting speeds?
Professional models offer 2 speeds (e.g., 370/800 m/min) to adapt to materials: low for hardwoods, high for softwoods.
Lower speeds reduce the risk of burning on hardwoods (oak, beech). High speeds optimize performance on pine and particle board.
Is the table tiltable?
Yes, professional models have a table that can be tilted up to 45° for angled cuts.
The tilt allows for bevel cuts for joints and furniture details. Check for a stop at 0° tilt for repeatability on straight cuts.
What power supply does it require?
Benchtop and compact models are 230 V single-phase (0.3-0.75 kW motor). Professional models with 500+ mm flywheels require 400 V three-phase.
For workshops without a three-phase line, choose HBS 320, HBS 360, or HBS 400 (single-phase) models. HBS 500 N and HBS 600 N models require mandatory three-phase.
Does it have an integrated dust extraction connection?
Yes, professional models have a Ø 50-100 mm dust extraction connection for linking to a chip extraction system.
Dust extraction is essential for air quality in the workshop. Krollit supplies compatible Bernardo DC series extractors and dedicated connection hoses.
