Who uses the FM 45 HSV and for what
Precision mechanical workshops, mold makers, and industrial laboratories use this large-format drill-milling machine for complete machining operations: steel drilling up to Ø32 mm and cast iron up to Ø40 mm, face milling up to Ø80 mm with automatic spindle feed. The 12-speed mechanical gearbox (75–3,200 rpm) and the 308 kg heavy cast iron structure support intense work cycles on an 800 x 240 mm table.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The Bernardo FM 45 HSV is positioned in the high-end segment of the Bernardo drill-milling machine range, with a 308 kg cast iron structure for continuous industrial use. Above this range, Bernardo only offers UWF universal milling machines with automatic feed on all axes. Below the FM 45 HSV, the range offers the BF 28 BDC and BF 30 G series with more compact structures (130-190 kg) and lower drilling capacities.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 business days (7 days for the South). For original Bernardo spare parts, shipping in 3-5 business days from Krollit warehouse. Customer assistance in Italian available for technical documentation, product sheets, and spare parts order management. Krollit has been an official Bernardo distributor since 2007.

Frequently asked questions
What drilling and milling capacities does the FM 45 HSV have?
Steel drilling up to Ø32 mm and cast iron up to Ø40 mm, face milling up to Ø80 mm.
The stated capacities refer to standard, unhardened steels (e.g., C40, S235). For harder materials or alloyed metals, the actual capacity may be lower: in this case, it is advisable to reduce the rotation speed and feed rate to avoid stressing the spindle and tools.
How is the spindle speed adjusted on the FM 45 HSV?
The machine has a 12-speed mechanical gearbox in the range of 75–3,200 rpm.
The 12-speed, 2-stage mechanical gearbox is designed to sustain continuous workshop operations without torque degradation, unlike electronic Vario systems. Speed selection is done via levers on the side of the head.
What power supply and motor does the FM 45 HSV have?
1.1 / 1.5 kW (S1 continuous) / 1.5 / 2.2 kW (S6 intermittent) motor with 400 V power supply.
The motor requires a 400 V three-phase power supply. Verify the presence of a three-phase line in the workshop before purchase. For environments without three-phase power, the Bernardo range offers equivalent 230 V single-phase models, but with lower machining capacities.
What are the table dimensions, travel, and spindle taper of the FM 45 HSV?
800 x 240 mm cross table with X/Y travel of 555 / 205 mm, MT 4 spindle taper, 120 mm spindle travel.
The MT 4 spindle taper is an international standard: accessories (self-tightening chucks, end mill holders, reduction arbors) are commonly available. The table's travel allows for machining parts within the effective usable dimensions (X/Y travel net of clamping clearances).
How much does the FM 45 HSV weigh and what type of installation does it require?
The machine weighs approximately 308 kg and requires installation on a flat industrial floor, with a dedicated base and a 400 V electrical connection.
For a 308 kg machine, an workshop floor with adequate foundation (standard reinforced concrete) and fixing the base with expansion anchors is recommended to minimize vibrations during demanding machining operations. The electrical connection must be performed by qualified personnel.
