Bianco 370 Semi Automatic Bandsaw with Dual Mitre Sliding Vice
The Bianco 370 SA DS MS is a professional semi automatic bandsaw machine designed for fabrication shops and machine shops requiring precision mitre cutting capabilities. This Italian-manufactured machine cuts at angles up to 60° right and 45° left, with a maximum cutting capacity of 280mm round or 240mm square at 90°.
The machine features hydraulic control for both bow and vice movement, eliminating manual lifting through automatic fast up/down bow movement controlled by a feeler pin. The cutting progress uses infinitesimal adjustment, allowing you to fine tune the feed rate for different materials. With a sliding vice mechanism, you can position your workpiece quickly and efficiently. The bow is constructed from aluminium and the reducer unit contains hardened and ground gears for durability.
The machine operates with dual cutting speeds of 35 or 70 m/min, giving you flexibility to match blade speed to your material type. It complies with CE regulations through a double safety button for cycle start and low voltage electrical system. This semi automatic design gives you direct control over material setup and positioning whilst the hydraulic system handles the repetitive cutting cycle, making it suitable for varied cutting work where you need flexibility and precision.
Applications
- Structural steel fabrication: Cut steel beams, angles, channels, and I-beams to length for building frameworks and structural assemblies at 90° or angled cuts
- Custom metalworking and fabrication: Produce tailored metal parts with precise mitre cuts for automotive, engineering, and manufacturing applications
- Pipe and tube preparation: Process round and rectangular tubes at multiple angles for pipework, framework construction, and structural applications
- Medium-volume production cutting: Handle batch production where you need consistent, repeatable cuts without the complexity of fully automatic programming
- Multi-material cutting operations: Cut mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other metals by adjusting blade speed and feed pressure to suit the material
- Workshop and maintenance operations: Ideal for general machine shops and maintenance facilities where cutting requirements vary throughout the workday
Key Features & Benefits
- Hydraulic bow and vice control: Both the cutting head and workholding vice operate hydraulically, reducing physical effort and improving cutting consistency compared to manual machines
- Automatic bow return with feeler pin: The cutting head automatically raises after completing each cut, eliminating manual lifting and speeding up your workflow between cuts
- Sliding vice mechanism: Position your workpiece quickly along the work surface without unclamping, making setup faster for multiple cuts or different length materials
- Dual mitre cutting capability: Cut at 60° to the right and 45° to the left without complex repositioning, expanding your fabrication capabilities for angled joints and frames
- Infinitesimal feed adjustment: Fine-tune the cutting pressure with precision control, allowing you to optimize feed rate for different material types and thicknesses
- Variable blade speed: Switch between 35 and 70 m/min cutting speeds to match your material requirements, using slower speeds for harder materials and faster speeds for softer metals
- Digital angle display: The cutting angle is detected by encoder and displayed digitally, so you can set precise mitre angles quickly without manual measurement
- Hardened gear reducer: The reducer unit contains hardened and ground gears for long-term reliability and consistent performance under continuous use
- CE-compliant safety system: Operate safely with the double safety button for cycle start and low voltage electrical system meeting European safety regulations
- Integrated coolant system: The 0.06 kW cooling pump delivers cutting fluid to the blade, extending blade life and improving cut quality

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the 370 SA DS MS and other models in the Bianco 370 range?
The "SA" designation indicates semi-automatic operation with hydraulic bow and vice control. The "DS" means double swivel, indicating the machine can cut both right and left mitres. The "MS" refers to the sliding vice (morsa scorrevole in Italian). This combination gives you hydraulic operation, dual-angle cutting up to 60° right and 45° left, plus quick workpiece positioning through the sliding vice mechanism. Other models like the 370 SA offer only right-hand mitres, whilst manual versions require hand-operated controls.
Can I cut both ferrous and nonferrous metals with this bandsaw?
Yes. The dual blade speed selection (35 or 70 m/min) combined with infinitesimal feed adjustment allows you to optimize cutting parameters for different materials. Harder materials like stainless steel typically require slower speeds, whilst softer metals like aluminium can use higher speeds. Always use the appropriate blade type for your material to achieve the best cutting results.
How does the semiautomatic operation work?
You manually position your workpiece using the sliding vice and set your desired cutting angle. Once you press the double safety button to start the cycle, the hydraulic system controls the bow descent and cutting pressure automatically. A feeler pin senses when the cut completes and triggers automatic fast return of the bow to the starting position. This eliminates repetitive manual lifting whilst keeping you in control of material setup and parameters.
What maintenance does this bandsaw require?
Industrial bandsaws require regular blade tension checks, guide bearing inspection, coolant level monitoring, and periodic hydraulic fluid changes. The hardened and ground gears in the reducer unit are designed for durability but require proper lubrication according to the manufacturer's schedule. Regular cleaning of swarf and debris helps maintain cutting accuracy and extends component life.
What power supply do I need for this machine?
The Bianco 370 SA DS MS requires 400V three-phase power supply. The blade motor operates between 0.9 and 1.5 kW, the hydraulic unit requires 0.18 kW, and the coolant pump uses 0.06 kW. Make sure your workshop has adequate three-phase power capacity before installation. If you only have single-phase power available, you may need to consider different models or power conversion equipment.
