The top seed reached his fourth ATP World Tour final of 2015 (2-1) and his 128th career final (84-43) as he looks to win a tour-level title in a 19th different country. He will face either third seed Pablo Cuevas in Sunday's final.
Federer fired six aces in the one hour, 55-minute match. The crowd was appreciative of the strong effort from Schwartzman, who saved eight of the 11 break points he faced, chanting "Diego!" as he left the court.
With his second-round victory on Wednesday, the World No. 2 became the seventh active player with at least 200 career match wins on clay.
Later, Cuevas broke on five of his six opportunities to prevail 6-2, 6-4 over second seed Grigor Dimitrov in one hour and 15 minutes.
The 29-year-old Uruguayan captured his third career title in Sao Paulo (d. Vanni) earlier this year. He is 3-0 in ATP World Tour finals.
