Bernardo VMS 1000 Vertical Bandsaw
The Bernardo VMS 1000 is a professional, high-capacity vertical bandsaw, ideal for complex, contoured, and precision cuts on metal. Thanks to its solid cast iron table, which can tilt 15° in all directions and has an enlarged surface, it ensures stability and safety during processing. It features variable speed with two ranges (25–85 m/min and 120–500 m/min) adjustable via a digital LED display, adapting to different materials and thicknesses. The machine comes complete with a blade welder with annealing, shear, and integrated grinder to recondition blades directly in the workshop. Standard accessories include an air gun, chip brush, halogen lighting, and a grooved table. With a cutting capacity of up to 1010 mm in width and 340 mm in height, a 4540 mm blade, a 1.5 kW motor, and a weight of 800 kg, it is perfect for carpentry workshops and factories that require a powerful, precise, and robust machine.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal bandsaw?
A vertical bandsaw (like the Bernardo VM Vertical Bandsaw) has the blade running vertically and the workpiece is guided manually (like a bench saw). It is suitable for contoured cuts, curves, and irregular shapes on pieces placed on the workbench. A horizontal bandsaw has the blade moving down onto the stationary workpiece: ideal for cutting bars and profiles to size automatically or semi-automatically.
Can the Bernardo VM Vertical Bandsaw cut curves and shapes?
Yes, within the limits of the minimum bending radius allowed by the blade width. For tight curves, narrower blades are used (6–8 mm); for straight cuts, wider blades are used (13–20 mm). Check the minimum radius in the supplied manual.
Are replacement blades available?
Yes. Original Bernardo replacement blades for the Bernardo VM Vertical Bandsaw are available with 3–5 working days shipping. Please specify length, width, and tooth pitch when ordering.
Does the saw include a parallel guide for straight cuts?
Many VMS versions include a parallel guide and an angle ruler. Check the standard equipment of the specific Bernardo VM Vertical Bandsaw with Krollit. Customer support in Italian available.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The Bernardo VM Vertical Bandsaw with a working height of 25 mm and a table width of 300×400 mm requires adequate clear space on all sides for handling workpieces. Recommended minimum clear space: 1 m on each side of the machine.
