Bernardo Drill-Milling Machine BF 45 HSV – Power, Versatility, and Automatic X-Axis Feed
The Bernardo BF 45 HSV drill-milling machine is a robust and professional machine, designed for drilling, milling, and tapping. Thanks to its 2-speed motor with 12 rotation ranges (75–3200 rpm), hardened and ground gears in an oil bath, and polished steel column, it guarantees consistent performance even under intensive loads.
The -90°/+90° tilting head, 360° rotatable and height-adjustable, allows for angular machining and chamfering. The 730 x 210 mm cross table with 380 x 200 mm travels offers ample working space, while the automatic X-axis feed (AL 450 D) increases productivity and precision.
Included as standard: automatic spindle feed, tapping device, digital spindle travel display, cooling pump, adjustable guard with microswitch, and LED light. A complete machine, suitable for workshops and mechanical laboratories.

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 operations. 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 workpieces in continuous production. The FM series has a 360° tilting head that the KF does not.
What do the suffixes "Vario" and "HSV" mean?
Vario: continuously adjustable spindle speed without changing belts. HSV: spindle head with tilt from −90° to +90° (Head Swivel Variable). BDC: integrated 3-axis digital position display (Digital Readout). The HSV + Vario combination is the most flexible configuration for workshops working on 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 readout as standard. Models without this designation do not include it — it is available as an optional accessory. Check the specific model description.
Are spare parts available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business day shipping. Customer service available in Italian.
How much space is needed in the workshop for the BF/FM series?
The BF and FM milling machines are stationary workshop machines — not portable. Consider the space for the X and Y axis travels plus at least 60 cm clear on each side for safe operation. Contact Krollit for the complete dimensions of the specific model.
