Bernardo Milling/Drilling Machine FM 45 HS – Powerful, Versatile, and Competitively Priced
The Bernardo FM 45 HS milling/drilling machine is designed to offer excellent value for money, ensuring versatility and reliability in drilling, milling, and tapping operations. The oil-immersed gear drive with 12 speeds (75–3200 rpm) ensures smooth operation and quick adjustment thanks to the gear selector.
The tilting head from -60° to +60°, the treated cross table measuring 800 x 240 mm, and the adjustable dovetail guides on the X, Y, and Z axes make the machine precise and versatile. With a drilling capacity of up to Ø 32 mm in steel and integrated tapping with right/left rotation, the FM 45 HS is suitable for workshops and laboratories looking for reliability at an affordable cost.
Equipped with adjustable protection, a digital spindle stroke indicator, LED light, and professional accessories, it represents a suitable choice for those who need a complete and cost-effective machine.

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 sized 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, greater travels — for medium-sized parts in continuous production. The FM series has a 360° tilting head that the KF does not have.
What do the suffixes "Vario" and "HSV" mean?
Vario: continuously variable 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 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. Italian customer support 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 the 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.
