Bernardo Bench Milling Machine BF 40 HS
The Bernardo BF 40 HS bench milling machine is a robust and precise machine, suitable for professional drilling, milling, and threading operations. The 2-speed motor with 12 ranges (75–3200 rpm) and the quick-selector gear change ensure maximum flexibility and ease of use.
The geared head, inclinable from -90° to +90°, rotatable 360°, and height-adjustable, allows for angular machining and complex bevels. The 730 x 210 mm cross table, with travels of 480 x 210 mm, provides sufficient space for versatile and precise operations.
The hardened and polished oil-immersed gears, precision tapered roller bearings, and cast iron structure reduce vibrations and ensure durability and stability. Standard features include: threading device, digital spindle travel indicator, cooling pump, adjustable guard, and LED light.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the KF series and the BF/FM series in the Bernardo range?
The KF series (KF 16, KF 20, KF 25, KF 28) is the compact range: smaller tables, MT2/MT3 tapers, suitable for workshops with limited space and small-to-medium size machining. The BF series (BF 25, BF 30, BF 35, BF 40, BF 45) and FM series (FM 40, FM 45, FM 50, FM 55) are the professional versions: larger tables, MT3/MT4 tapers, more powerful motors, longer travels — for medium-sized parts in continuous production. The FM series has a 360° inclinable head, which the KF does not have.
What do the suffixes "Vario" and "HSV" mean?
Vario: continuously adjustable spindle speed without changing belts. HSV: spindle head with inclination from -90° to +90° (Head Swivel Variable). BDC: integrated 3-axis digital position display (Digital Readout). The combination HSV + Vario is the most flexible configuration for workshops working with different materials and geometries.
Is the 3-axis DRO included as standard or is it an option?
It depends on the model. Models with "BDC", "DT 40", "ES-12V" or "with 3-axis display" in the name include the digital display as standard. Models without this designation do not include it — it is available as an optional accessory. Please check the specific model description.
Are spare parts available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
How much space is needed in the workshop for the BF/FM series?
BF and FM milling machines are stationary workshop machines — not portable. Consider space for X and Y axis travels plus at least 60 cm clear space on each side for safe operation. Contact Krollit for complete dimensions of the specific model.
