Bianco 330 Manual Bandsaw with Hydraulic Automatic Downfeed
The Bianco 330 M DA is a manual horizontal bandsaw with descent assist, designed for structural workshops and fabrication shops that need to cut small batches with precision. This Italian manufactured machine cuts rounds, squares, and profiles at angles up to 60° right with a maximum capacity of 260mm round at 90°.
The Bianco 330 M DA combines manual control with gravity assisted downfeed, giving you direct involvement in the cutting process while reducing physical strain during operation. Built in Bergamo, Italy by Bianco S.r.l., this bandsaw is engineered specifically for structural workshops and machine shops working with small production lots where flexibility matters more than automated speed.
The machine features a cast aluminium bow construction that provides stability during cuts, helping maintain accuracy throughout the blade's working life. Your material gets clamped using a manual lever vice system, and you control the cutting action through the descent assist feature, which uses adjustable gravity downfeed rather than forcing you to manually pull down throughout the entire cut.
With cutting capacities up to 260mm round at 90°, 200mm at 45°, and 120mm at 60°, this bandsaw handles structural steel sections, tube, pipe, and solid bar in the size ranges most common to fabrication work. The two speed motor (35 or 70 m/min) lets you adjust cutting speed based on material hardness. The machine complies with EC low voltage electrical system requirements and can be equipped with optional roller tracks for longer material handling.
Applications
- Structural steel cutting: Process beams, channels, angles, and sections for building frameworks and construction projects with accurate angle cuts
- Tube and pipe fabrication: Cut round and rectangular tube, pipe, and hollow sections to length with clean, square ends
- Small batch production: Make repeatable cuts for job lots where you need precision but don't require continuous automated operation
- Fabrication shop work: Handle mixed materials and varying section sizes throughout the working day without complex programming
- Profile cutting: Process square bar, rectangular sections, flat bar, and round stock to exact dimensions
- Educational and training workshops: Teach metalworking fundamentals on professional equipment without overwhelming automation complexity
Key Features & Benefits
- Controlled Descent Assist: Gravity downfeed with adjustable damper reduces the physical effort of holding the bow down during long cuts, letting you control descent speed via a dial rather than maintaining constant downward pressure manually
- 260mm Round Cutting Capacity at 90°: Handles structural sections up to 260mm diameter round, 240mm square, or 330x120mm rectangular at perpendicular cuts
- 60° Right Mitre Cutting: Pivot the cutting head to produce angled cuts from 90° down to 60° right, with 200mm round capacity at 45° and 120mm round at 60°
- Two-Speed Blade Motor: Select between 35 m/min and 70 m/min cutting speeds to match material type and blade selection, with 0.9-1.5 kW motor power running on 400V three-phase supply
- Manual Lever Quick-Clamping Vice: Secure material rapidly using the lever-action mechanical vice, giving you tactile feedback on clamping pressure
- Aluminium Cast Bow Construction: The bow structure uses cast aluminium to provide rigidity during cuts while keeping overall machine weight at 345kg
- EC Compliant Electrical System: Low-voltage electrical components meet European CE safety directives for operator protection
- Integrated Coolant System: Flood coolant reduces blade temperature and improves cutting performance, with dedicated 0.06 kW coolant pump motor

Frequently Asked Questions
What does DA stand for?
"DA" stands for "Descent Assist," which means the machine includes a controlled gravity downfeed system with adjustable damper. You control the descent speed using a dial rather than manually pulling the bow down throughout the entire cut. This reduces operator fatigue compared to purely manual operation while keeping you in control of the cutting process.
What's the difference between the 330 M and the 330 M DA?
The base 330 M is entirely manual operation. The 330 M DA includes the descent assist feature (controlled gravity downfeed) as standard equipment. On the base 330 M, this descent control system is an optional accessory you can add later.
Can this machine cut stainless steel?
The bandsaw can cut stainless steel when you use the appropriate blade specification and select the slower cutting speed (35 m/min). The integrated coolant system helps manage heat during stainless cutting. Blade selection and cutting speed are the key factors for successful stainless steel work.
What electrical supply does this machine require?
The Bianco 330 M DA requires 400V three-phase electrical supply, which is standard for industrial equipment in the UK and EU. The machine operates on 50Hz frequency. You'll need a suitable three phase connection point in your workshop.
How do I know what angle I've set the cutting head to?
The standard machine includes a graduated scale on the front for reading the cutting angle. An optional digital cutting angle display (VG) is available as an accessory upgrade if you want precise digital readout.
Is this machine suitable for production work or just oneoff jobs?
Bianco describes the 330 M DA as "particularly recommended for the use in structural workshops that need to cut small lots". It's designed for small batch production and varied job work rather than continuous high-volume automated production. If you need unattended production cutting, Bianco's semi-automatic or fully automatic models would be more appropriate.
