Bernardo Mill Drill FM 55 HSV – Power and precision for professional machining
The Bernardo FM 55 HSV mill drill is a robust and versatile machine, designed for high-precision drilling, milling, and threading. Equipped with a 2-speed motor with 12 ranges (75–3200 rpm), it guarantees broad operational flexibility and excellent power transmission.
Thanks to the automatic spindle feeds (3 selectable feeds) and automatic table feed with rapid traverse on the X-axis, it is suitable for intensive machining. The head can be tilted from -60° to +60°, the 800 x 240 mm cross table, and the solid cast iron structure with an anti-vibration base ensure stability and precision even under load.
Standard features include: ES-12 V 3-axis digital readout, cooling pump, threading device, adjustable guard, LED light, and head lifting motor. A complete machine for workshops and mechanical laboratories that require high performance.

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 taper, 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 taper, more powerful motors, greater 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 variable spindle speed without changing belts. HSV: spindle head with tilt from −90° to +90° (Head Swivel Variable). BDC: integrated 3-axis digital readout (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 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 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
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 the space for the X and Y axis travels plus at least 60 cm of clear space on each side for safe operation. Contact Krollit for the complete dimensions of the specific model.
