Bianco 370 Manual Bandsaw with Dual Mitre, Sliding Vice
The Bianco 370 M DS MS is a manual mitre bandsaw designed for cutting medium-sized metal stock at angles up to 60° right and 45° left, featuring a sliding vice system and digital angle display for precision fabrication work.
This Italian-manufactured bandsaw is built for cutting rounds, plates, and profiles with accuracy and reliability. The sliding vice system lets you position workpieces quickly and easily, while the encoder-based digital display shows your cutting angle for precise mitre work. With cutting capacities up to 280mm round at 90 degrees and two blade speeds (35 and 70 m/min), this machine handles a variety of materials and cutting tasks in fabrication shops, machine shops, and metalworking facilities.
The machine features an aluminium bow construction, hardened and ground gears in the reducer for durability, and gravity downfeed with adjustable damper for controlled cutting. Built to low voltage electrical standards according to EC regulations, the 370 M DS MS includes coolant equipment for improved blade life and cut quality. Bianco backs this machine with 20-year spare parts availability, ensuring long-term service and support.
Applications
- Structural Steel Fabrication: Precise angle cuts for frames, trusses, and support structures where mitre cutting accuracy is critical for proper fit and assembly.
- General Fabrication Shop Work: Cutting mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium profiles across a variety of projects and customer requirements.
- Manufacturing Operations: Producing metal parts with repeatable cuts using the mechanical length stop for consistent dimensions in production runs.
- Tool and Die Making: Accurate mitre cuts essential for creating jigs, fixtures, and precision tooling components.
- Educational Workshops: Teaching metalworking and fabrication techniques in technical colleges and training facilities.
- Maintenance Facilities: Cutting replacement parts and custom components at various angles for industrial equipment repair and modification.
Key Features & Benefits
- Digital Angle Display with Encoder: The encoder detects your cutting angle and displays it digitally, eliminating guesswork when setting up mitre cuts. You get precise angle positioning from 60° right to 45° left without manual measurement.
- Sliding Vice System: Position workpieces quickly with the sliding vice that moves along the work surface. This design speeds up setup compared to traditional fixed vices, letting you spend more time cutting and less time adjusting.
- Two Blade Speeds (35 and 70 m/min): Choose between two cutting speeds to match your material. The slower speed works well for harder materials and tougher cuts, while the faster speed increases productivity on softer metals.
- Wide Mitre Cutting Range: Cut angles from 60° right to 45° left, giving you flexibility for complex fabrication projects. The pivot frame design maintains cutting accuracy across the full angle range.
- Hardened and Ground Gear Reducer: The reducer unit features hardened and ground gears for smooth operation and extended service life. This precision-engineered gearbox minimizes vibration and wear compared to standard reducers.
- Gravity Downfeed with Adjustable Damper: Control cutting pressure with the gravity downfeed system and adjustable damper. This provides consistent force throughout the cut for cleaner results and longer blade life.
- Coolant Equipment: The integrated coolant system keeps your blade cool and removes swarf from the cut. This improves cut quality and extends blade life significantly compared to dry cutting.
- Comfortable Working Height: The 830mm working height positions workpieces at a natural level for loading and monitoring cuts. This reduces operator fatigue during extended work sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I cut with this bandsaw?
You can cut common metals including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, and various alloys. The two-speed system lets you optimize cutting speed for different materials. Use the slower 35 m/min setting for harder materials like stainless steel, and the faster 70 m/min speed for softer metals and increased productivity.
How does the sliding vice work compared to a standard vice?
The sliding vice moves along the work surface, allowing you to position workpieces quickly without constantly adjusting the vice jaws. This speeds up setup time, particularly when working with varying stock sizes or when making multiple cuts at the same angle.
What optional accessories are available for this machine?
Bianco offers several optional accessories including an electrical skip for automatic swarf removal, a pneumatic vice for faster clamping, a frequency converter (inverter) for variable blade speeds between 20-100 m/min, and extended roller tables in various lengths with additional measuring systems. These options can be added to increase productivity for specific applications.
Does this machine require threephase power?
Yes, the 370 M DS MS requires 400V three-phase electrical supply. This is standard in UK and EU industrial workshops and machine shops. The machine uses a low voltage electrical system that complies with EC safety regulations.
What maintenance does this bandsaw require?
Regular maintenance includes keeping the coolant system clean and filled, checking and tensioning the blade according to the manufacturer's specifications, lubricating the sliding vice mechanism and pivot bearings, and inspecting the downfeed damper system. The hardened and ground gears in the reducer require minimal maintenance. Bianco guarantees spare parts availability for 20 years, ensuring you can maintain this machine for decades.
