Bianco 370 Manual Bandsaw with Hydraulic Automatic Downfeed
The Bianco 370 M DA is a manual mitre bandsaw with descent assist technology, designed for cutting medium-sized metal materials up to 60° right mitre angle.
This bandsaw combines manual operation with descent assist functionality. The descent assist system uses a gravity downfeed with an adjustable damper that controls the cutting pressure as the blade moves through your material. This gives you more consistent cuts compared to fully manual machines where you must control the downfeed entirely by hand.
The machine features a pivot frame design that allows mitre cutting up to 60° right, making it suitable for structural work and angled cuts. With a two-speed motor providing 35 and 70 metres per minute blade speeds, you can adjust cutting speed to match different materials and section sizes. The manual vice with quick-clamping lever secures your workpiece for cutting.
This bandsaw suits fabrication workshops, engineering shops, and manufacturing facilities that need flexible manual control with assisted cutting pressure. The descent assist reduces operator fatigue on longer cuts while maintaining the cost advantages of manual operation over fully automatic machines.
Applications
- Structural Steel Fabrication: Cutting beams, channels, and angle iron for construction and building services projects
- General Engineering: Processing bar stock and profiles in machine shops and fabrication facilities
- Metal Fabrication: Handling varied materials and cross-sections for custom fabrication work
- Maintenance Workshops: Flexible angle cutting for repair and modification work
- Educational Facilities: Training students in metalworking and fabrication techniques
- Small Batch Production: Manual flexibility for varied production runs without automation costs
Key Features & Benefits
- Descent Assist System: Gravity downfeed with adjustable damper controls cutting pressure automatically, giving you more consistent cuts with less effort compared to fully manual operation
- 60° Mitre Capability: Pivot frame rotates up to 60° right for angled cuts on structural work without secondary operations
- Dual Speed Operation: Two-speed motor (35/70 m/min) lets you match blade speed to material type for better cutting performance

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can this bandsaw cut?
You can cut ferrous and non-ferrous metals including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, and copper. The dual-speed motor lets you 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 softer materials like aluminium and mild steel.
How does descent assist differ from fully manual operation?
Descent assist uses a gravity downfeed system with an adjustable damper that automatically controls the cutting pressure as the blade descends through your material. On a fully manual bandsaw, you must physically control the downward pressure throughout the cut, which causes operator fatigue. The descent assist takes over this function while still giving you manual control over starting and stopping cuts. This differs from semi-automatic machines which also include automatic cycle control and often hydraulic vices.
What electrical supply does this machine need?
This machine requires 400V three-phase electrical supply, which is standard in UK industrial and commercial workshops. The main blade motor is 1.5kW with an additional 0.06kW coolant pump motor. You should verify your workshop has adequate three-phase power before installation.
Can I cut angles in both directions?
This model (370 M DA with 60° designation) cuts up to 60° right mitre only. If you need dual mitre capability (both left and right angles), Bianco offers DS MS models (Double Mitre) with cutting capacity at 60° right and 45° left. The single mitre version keeps the machine more compact and is suitable when you primarily need right-hand mitre cuts.
What's included with the machine?
The machine comes with an infeed roller as standard, manual quick-clamp vice, coolant system with pump and reservoir, and blade cleaning brush.Additional accessories like extended roller tables for longer materials can typically be added as options.
