Bernardo Horizontal Bandsaw MCB 270 Eco

Bernardo Horizontal Bandsaw MCB 270 Eco

The Bernardo MCB 270 Eco is a professional-grade horizontal bandsaw, designed for maximum stability and precision in metal cutting. Thanks to its torsion-free gray cast iron frame and robust cast iron vise with quick adjustment, it offers reliable and long-lasting performance. With two cutting speeds (37.5 / 75 m/min) and an arm that swivels up to 60°, it allows for versatile angled cuts. The arm's descent is regulated by a continuously variable hydraulic cylinder, ensuring smooth and vibration-free operation. Complete with a coolant device, blade tension gauge, and automatic shut-off at the end of the cut, it represents the ideal choice for workshops, carpentry, and users who demand high quality.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a horizontal and a vertical saw?

A horizontal saw lowers the blade assembly onto the stationary workpiece—ideal for repeatedly cutting bars and profiles to size. A vertical saw (bench saw type) has the blade running vertically and the workpiece is guided manually: suitable for shaped cuts and curves.

What speed should I use for stainless steel with the Bernardo Horizontal Bandsaw?

For AISI 304 stainless steel, use the lowest available speed (20–30 m/min) with active coolant if available. Higher speeds cause overheating and rapid blade wear. For stainless steel over 50 mm in diameter, also reduce the descent force of the blade assembly.

Are replacement blades available?

Yes. Original Bernardo bi-metal blades for the Bernardo Horizontal Bandsaw are available with 3–5 working day shipping. Available in different tooth configurations for various materials: steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, cast iron.

Does the saw include a cooling system?

It depends on the version. Some Bernardo versions include an integrated coolant pump (typically indicated in the name or technical table). For versions without cooling, manual cutting oil is recommended for stainless steel and hard materials. Customer support available in Italian.
