Who uses the FM 50 HSV and for what
Precision mechanical workshops, mold makers and industrial laboratories use this large format drilling and milling machine for complete machining operations: drilling steel 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 322 kg heavy cast iron structure support intense work cycles on an 800 x 240 mm table.
Its place in the Bernardo range
Bernardo FM 50 HSV is positioned in the high segment of the Bernardo drilling and milling machine range, with a 322 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 50 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 to the South). For original Bernardo spare parts, shipping 3-5 business days from Krollit warehouse. Customer support 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 are the drilling and milling capacities of the FM 50 HSV?
Steel drilling up to Ø32 mm and cast iron up to Ø40 mm, face milling up to Ø80 mm.
The declared capacities refer to standard unhardened steels (e.g., C40, S235). For harder materials or alloyed steels, 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 50 HSV?
The machine has a 12-speed mechanical gearbox in the range 75–3,200 rpm.
The 12-speed 2-stage mechanical gearbox is designed to support continuous workshop machining without torque decay, unlike electronic Vario systems. Speed selection is done via levers on the side of the head.
What power supply and motor does the FM 50 HSV have?
Motor 1.1 / 1.5 kW (S1 continuous) / 1.5 / 2.2 kW (S6 intermittent) with 400 V power supply.
The motor requires a 400 V three-phase power supply. Check for a three-phase line in the workshop before purchasing. For environments without three-phase, the Bernardo range offers equivalent models with 230 V single-phase, but with lower machining capacities.
What are the table dimensions, travel, and spindle taper of the FM 50 HSV?
Cross table 800 x 240 mm with X/Y travel of 555 / 205 mm, MT 4 spindle taper, spindle travel 120 mm.
The MT 4 spindle taper is an international standard: accessories (keyless chucks, shell end mill holders, reduction arbors) are commonly available. The table travel allows machining parts that fall within the effective useful dimensions (X/Y travel net of clamping bulk).
How much does the FM 50 HSV weigh and what type of installation does it require?
The machine weighs approximately 322 kg and requires installation on a flat industrial floor, with a dedicated base and 400 V electrical connection.
For a 322 kg machine, an workshop floor with adequate foundation (standard reinforced concrete) and fixing of the base with expansion anchors is recommended to minimize vibrations during more demanding machining operations. The electrical connection must be performed by qualified personnel.
