Bianco 280 Manual Bandsaw with Auto Downfeed & Dual Mitre
The Bianco 280 M-DAR is a manual bandsaw designed for cutting metal materials with dual mitre capability, offering cuts from 60° right to 45° left. This machine is built for structural workshops and fabrication businesses that need to cut small production batches with precision.
This bandsaw features a descent assist system that controls the downfeed of the cutting bow, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks. The machine includes a reducer unit with hardened and ground gears that are lubricated with oil for durability. The cutting head moves on a large slewing ring with a graduated scale mounted on the front of the machine, allowing you to read the cutting angle quickly and set up mitre cuts accurately.
The dual mitre capability means you can cut angles in both directions without repositioning your workpiece. With a 220mm round capacity at 90°, this machine handles common bar stock sizes used in general fabrication work. The two speed blade system (35/70 m/min) lets you adjust cutting speed based on whether you're working with mild steel or harder materials like stainless steel.
Applications
- Structural steel fabrication: For frames, brackets, and architectural metalwork requiring angled cuts
- General engineering workshops: Cutting bar stock, tubing, and metal profiles for machinery components
- Metal fabrication shops: Producing custom assemblies with varied mitre requirements
- Automotive fabrication: Cutting chassis components and structural parts
- Maintenance and repair workshops: Handling general metal cutting tasks
- Educational facilities: Providing hands-on metalworking training
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual mitre cutting (60° right to 45° left): Lets you handle angled cuts in both directions without repositioning materials, saving time on complex fabrication projects
- Descent assist system: Controls the downfeed through the cut, providing consistent cutting pressure without manual effort and reducing operator fatigue
- Two-speed blade operation (35/70 m/min): Allows you to match cutting speed to your material type for optimal blade life and cut quality
- Hardened and ground gear reducer with oil lubrication: Provides reliable operation and extends the service life of critical drive components
- Large slewing ring with graduated scale: Ensures stable angle positioning and quick angle reading for fast setup between different mitre cuts
- Carbide blade guides: Maintain accurate blade tracking for straighter cuts and longer blade life
- Built-in coolant system: Manages heat during cutting to extend blade life and improve surface finish

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can this bandsaw cut?
The Bianco 280 M-DAR is designed for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, and copper. The two-speed blade system allows you to select the appropriate cutting speed for different materials. Use the slower 35 m/min speed for harder materials like stainless steel, and the faster 70 m/min speed for mild steel and softer metals.
How does the descent assist system work?
The descent assist system provides controlled downfeed of the cutting bow during the cutting operation. This reduces the physical effort required from the operator and helps maintain consistent cutting pressure throughout the cut, which improves accuracy and reduces operator fatigue during repetitive work.
Can I add roller tables for longer materials?
Yes, the machine can be equipped with optional roller track systems and measuring accessories to support longer workpieces. This is useful when cutting bar stock or tubing that extends beyond the machine's base.
What blade size does this machine use?
The machine uses bandsaw blades measuring 2450mm x 27mm x 0.9mm. Standard bimetal blades are recommended for general metal cutting applications.
What mitre angles can this machine cut?
The dual mitre head cuts from 60° to the right through to 45° to the left, with a graduated scale on the front for quick angle reading and setup. At 90° (straight cuts), you get the maximum 220mm round capacity. Cutting capacity reduces at steeper angles, with 160mm round at 45° and 95mm round at 60°.
