Bianco 370 Semi Automatic Bandsaw with Rotating Head
The Bianco 370 SA R is a semi automatic dual mitre bandsaw built for professional metalworking environments where precision and productivity matter. This Italian manufactured machine from a company with over 30 years of bandsaw engineering experience delivers accurate cuts across a range of materials and angles.
This machine gives you the ability to cut angles up to 60 degrees to the right and 45 degrees to the left without repositioning your material. The turntable double mitring system means you can handle complex angle work efficiently, keeping heavy sections in place while the cutting head pivots to your required angle. The semi-automatic operation takes care of the blade descent and return automatically, so you can focus on material preparation and quality control rather than manual feeding.
The 370 SA R uses a cast bow constructed from special alloys to minimise vibration during cutting. Carbide blade guides maintain cutting accuracy over extended production runs. The hydraulic system controls both the cutting descent with variable pressure and speed adjustment, giving you the control needed for different materials and section sizes. A two-speed motor provides cutting speeds of 35 or 70 metres per minute, letting you match the blade speed to your material requirements.
Built to EC safety standards, the machine includes a double safety button for cycle start and low voltage electrical system. The automatic fast up and down bow movement is controlled by a feeler pin, with infinitesimal adjustment available for cutting progress. For workshops processing varied materials from mild steel to stainless steel, the combination of hydraulic control, variable speed, and precision construction delivers consistent results.
Applications
- Structural steel cutting: Process beams, channels, angles, and flat bar at 90 degrees or mitre angles for fabrication assemblies and construction projects
- Pipe and tube work: Cut round, square, and rectangular hollow sections for building services, mechanical installations, and fabrication work
- Profile cutting: Handle complex shapes in box sections, I-beams, and custom extrusions with repeatable angle accuracy
- Engineering components: Produce precision parts where dimensional accuracy and clean cut faces reduce secondary finishing operations
- Custom fabrication: Switch between materials and angles quickly for prototype work and small batch production
- Metal stockholding and distribution: Process stock material to customer specifications with minimal setup between different cutting requirements
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual mitre capability (45° left, 60° right): Cut compound angles without turning heavy materials over, reducing handling time and improving workshop safety when processing long sections or heavy stock
- Semi-automatic hydraulic operation: The machine automatically lowers the blade with variable pressure control and returns to start position after each cut, reducing operator fatigue during production runs
- Feeler pin controlled approach: Fast automatic approach slows when the blade contacts material, preventing blade damage and extending blade life through controlled cutting engagement
- Two-speed motor (35-70 m/min): Select between two cutting speeds to optimise blade performance for different materials without needing blade changes
- Cast bow from special alloys: Engineered construction minimises vibration and flex during cutting, maintaining accuracy even when processing maximum capacity sections
- Carbide blade guides: Hard-wearing guides maintain blade tracking accuracy through extended use, reducing guide replacement frequency and setup adjustments
- Sliding hydraulic vice: Hydraulic clamping provides secure material hold with adjustable pressure to suit different section sizes without surface marking
- Integrated coolant system: Coolant pump keeps blades cool during cutting, extending blade life and improving cut surface finish
- Blade tension indicator: Visual reference ensures correct blade tension for optimal cutting performance and blade longevity
- Safety interlock on band wheel cover: Machine will not operate with the wheel cover open, meeting EC safety requirements

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can this bandsaw cut?
The machine handles mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and other non-ferrous metals. The two-speed motor lets you select appropriate blade speed for different materials. The adjustable hydraulic pressure accommodates various section sizes and material densities without requiring manual feed rate adjustments.
How does the semiautomatic operation work?
You position and clamp your material using the hydraulic vice, select your cutting angle, and press the double safety start button. The blade approaches quickly using feeler pin control, then automatically slows when it contacts the material. The hydraulic system controls the cutting descent with variable pressure. After completing the cut, the bow automatically returns to the start position, ready for your next piece.
What is the difference between 45° left and 60° right cutting capacity?
The dual mitre design cuts up to 45 degrees when pivoting left and up to 60 degrees when pivoting right. This asymmetric range is typical of dual mitre bandsaws and reflects the structural design of the turntable mechanism. The varying capacities at different angles (shown in the specifications) result from the blade's path through the material at these angles.
What routine maintenance does this machine need?
Regular maintenance includes checking blade tension using the fitted indicator, monitoring coolant levels, cleaning the blade and guides with the provided brush, and verifying the hydraulic system operates smoothly. The carbide blade guides are long-wearing but should be checked periodically for wear. Replace blades when cutting performance declines. The robust construction requires minimal adjustment when properly maintained.
Can I add accessories to this machine later?
Yes, Bianco offers optional accessories for the 370 SA R including adjustable vice pressure control, blade speed variation, spray mist cooling system (upgrade from standard flood cooling), powered swarf brush, and roller track systems with measuring devices. Consult with your supplier about compatibility and installation of optional accessories for your specific requirements.
