Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I cut with the Bianco 280 M?
The variable blade speed (35-70 m/min) allows you to cut mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, and other metals. Lower speeds work better for harder materials like stainless steel, while higher speeds suit softer materials like aluminium.
Does this machine require threephase power?
Depending on bandsaw variant, the bandsaw can come in single phase or three phase, the standard 280 M operates on 400V three-phase power.
How long does a blade typically last?
Blade life depends on what you're cutting, blade quality, cutting speed, and proper coolant use. The machine includes a coolant system specifically to extend blade life. Using appropriate blade speeds and maintaining proper coolant flow will maximize blade longevity.
Can I add roller tables for cutting longer materials?
Yes, the machine can be equipped with roller tracks and related accessories to support longer workpieces. This is particularly useful when cutting lengthy bar stock or profiles.
What optional accessories are available?
Bianco offers several factory options including a pneumatic vice for faster clamping, gravity-controlled descent for consistent cutting, an electrical skip for automatic chip removal, a dry cutting device, frequency converter (inverter) for precise speed control, and a blade speed variator. Check with your supplier about availability and pricing.
Is the 60degree mitre cutting capacity sufficient for most workshop needs?
The 60-degree right mitre capacity covers most common angled cutting requirements in structural and fabrication work. At this angle, you can still cut 95mm round stock or 95 x 95mm rectangular sections, which handles many typical mitre cutting jobs.
