Bianco 280 Manual Bandsaw with Automatic Downfeed
The Bianco 280 M DA combines the proven reliability of the standard 280 M manual bandsaw with the addition of an automatic downfeed system, designed for structural workshops and fabrication shops that need to cut small batch quantities with precision.
This Italian-manufactured bandsaw is built on the established 280 M platform with one key enhancement: automatic descent assist. This feature adds controlled downward blade movement to reduce operator effort during cutting operations. The machine is specifically designed for workshops that need to cut small lots with high precision and reliability.
The bandsaw features an aluminium bow construction and a reducer unit with hardened and ground gears for long-term durability. The pivoting head can swivel up to 60° to the right, allowing you to make angled cuts without repositioning your workpiece. With a 220mm round cutting capacity at 90° and rectangular capacity up to 260x140mm, this machine handles a wide range of metal sections.
The two-speed motor operates at 35-70 m/min, giving you the flexibility to adjust cutting speed based on your material requirements. The working surface sits at 965mm height, and the machine includes an integrated coolant system with a 0.06 kW pump motor. Built to European CE standards with low-voltage electrical systems, this bandsaw provides professional capability in a compact 240kg package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the 280 M and 280 M DA?
The 280 M DA adds an automatic descent assist system to the standard 280 M model. While the standard version requires manual control of the blade descent during cutting, the DA version provides automatic controlled descent to reduce operator effort.
What voltage options are available?
The 280 M DA is available in both 230V single phase and 400V three phase configurations. The 230V model (MOD_280DAM) provides flexibility for workshops without three phase power supply.
What blade size does this machine use?
The bandsaw uses standard 2450 x 27 x 0.9mm blades, which are readily available from industrial blade suppliers.
What's included as standard equipment?
The machine comes complete with a millimetre rule (0-500mm range) with mechanical length stop, discharge tray for cut pieces, infeed roller, and the coolant system with pump. This gives you everything needed to start cutting immediately.
How long are spare parts available for?
Bianco guarantees spare parts availability for 20 years from purchase, providing long term support for your investment.
