Toolroom Milling Machine
When jigs, tools and series parts have to be manufactured with high precision and a complex structure, then tool milling machines are practically indispensable. With these milling machines, even complicated components and assemblies can be produced with the required precision in the shortest possible time. In the online shop of BHM Maschinen, we offer you various tool milling machines for different tasks and requirements.
Whether horizontal, vertical or inclined - with the Bernardo WFM 500 tool milling machine you can carry out light to medium milling work. Users in tool, mould and model making and in training centres in particular rely on the services of this machine. This also applies to the Bernardo TRM 750, which can be used for horizontal, vertical and inclined work and also offers extra stability. The WFM 750 Servo is designed for workpieces with a maximum weight of 200 kilograms. The special feature: servo drive with electronic handwheels in all axes and, on top of that, infinitely variable speed control.

Frequently asked questions about the tool milling machine
What is a tool milling machine?
Tool milling machines are metal-cutting machines with rotating tools that are equipped with a movable machine table and a movable milling head. These machines can be used to produce workpieces with almost any contour. Equipped with electronic control, these machines can be used to produce complex workpieces and for series production.
What are tool milling machines used for?
A tool milling machine offers a diverse range of applications. Classic areas of application for these machines are tool and mould making. Injection moulding and pressing or punching tools can be produced with these machines as well as jigs and fixtures. Another field of application results from the integration of such a machine, the series production of assemblies and machines. Tool milling machines offer a very high repeat accuracy in the production of many similar parts.
Which materials can be machined by tool milling machines?
Machine tools are mainly, but not exclusively, used for machining metals. Steel, non-ferrous and light metals can be machined with high precision on these machines with the appropriate tools. In addition, it is also possible to machine plastics, for example ABS, PVC or acrylic glass with a tool milling machine. If necessary, wood and wood-based materials can also be machined on tool milling machines when using suitable tools. However, due to the often too low cutting speed, the surface quality is usually not as high as when using a machine specially designed for wood processing.
What are the most important parameters of a toolroom milling machine?
If you want to buy a toolroom machine, the first step is to consider how large the workpieces are that you want to machine or produce with this machine. Among the most important parameters of tool milling machines are the traverse paths in the direction of the X, Y and Z axes. These values define the machining space. Workpieces can be machined within this machining space.
Is it also possible to mill horizontally with the tool milling machines from BHM Maschinen?
Yes, the tool milling machines offered in the BHM Maschinen online shop can be used for horizontal milling in just a few steps, for example, by folding the vertical milling head to the side. In addition, the milling head can be tilted sideways to machine workpieces at an angle. Generally, Bernardo tool milling machines from the BHM online shop are suitable for horizontal, vertical and angular milling. The machines can be converted in just a few steps.
What are reducing bushes needed for?
In tool milling machines, most tools are not clamped in a chuck but in a cone, the so-called Morse taper, and clamped hydraulically. The cone can be designed differently depending on the tool. So that a tool with a different Morse taper (MK) than the holder in the milling head can still be clamped and used, reducing sleeves may be necessary.
For example, if a drill is equipped with an MK2 Morse taper and the milling head has an MK3 receptacle, a reducing sleeve from MK3 to MK2 is required in order to be able to clamp this drill in the machine. Similarly, for tools with an MK1 taper, a reducing sleeve from MK3 to MK1 must be used. The required reducing sleeves or ISO adapters are already included in the scope of delivery of our machines.
