So I bought 2hand used Bernardo KF25 vario machine 2 weeks ago and now it got spindle part no 246 broken. I managed just to use 10 minutes the machine until I noticed that spindle makes wipping move about 0,5-1mm diameter. (Hard to explain because my native is not english) I uploaded video here, which tells more:

After I started to look it better and removed the MT2 tool holder from it, the spindle broke up totally. Pictures here about it:

(I havent yet unassembled it totally so cannot give any other images, but planninng to do so, so there might be soon more pictures.)

1st what would could cause that spindle broke up so badly? Is it possible that it can broke when hammering with rubber hammer, which I did but not imo that much that it could twist first this spindle and later broke up totally. What I see is that bearing in bottom (part no 248) is not good but this is still unconfirmed.

I like to know also is there any website/shop or ebay who sells parts to these machines, where I can check prices etc? Didnt find any on google. These machines varies by name and what I know this machine is quite same as Opti BF20 I think so these parts should fit also. I just did 16 hour work day, so is also making hard to write this, sorry about this. Hope get help. If someone knows especially about what bearings this has, it helps, because I think the spindle is what I get from local dealer from here.

link to manual if needed to check parts:

Edit: This machine should be same as Opti Vario BF20
