Bernardo MSB 560 H Semi-Automatic Metal Bandsaw

Bernardo MSB 560 H Semi-Automatic Metal Bandsaw

The Bernardo MSB 560 H is an industrial semi-automatic bandsaw designed for carpentry shops and workshops that require extra-large cutting capacity and reliable performance. With automatic arm lift with adjustable height and a hydraulic vice inclinable up to 45°, it simplifies machining of bulky and serial workpieces. Cutting speed is continuously adjustable from 20 to 100 m/min, allowing it to adapt to different materials and thicknesses. The torsion-free frame and blade guide with bearings and carbide inserts ensure stability, precision, and long blade life. With a cutting capacity of up to 750 x 560 mm at 90°, a 4.0 kW motor, and a weight of 1700 kg, it represents a robust and safe machine, complete with protection features such as automatic shutdown and blade breakage control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "semi-automatic" mean for this bandsaw?

The semi-automatic version (MSB with H suffix) has motorized saw frame descent with adjustable cutting speed, and automatic return to the high position at the end of the cut. The operator only needs to position the workpiece and start the cycle — they do not have to hold the saw frame during cutting. Compared to manual versions, it reduces fatigue and ensures constant cutting force throughout the stroke.

What is the maximum cutting capacity at 45°?

The capacity at 45° is lower than the nominal capacity at 90° (Ø 560 mm). Typically 65–70% of the nominal value at 90°. Refer to the angled capacity table in the manual supplied with the Bernardo semi-automatic metal bandsaw.

100 m/min cutting speed: is it sufficient for stainless steel?

For AISI 304 stainless steel, it is recommended to use the lowest available speed (20–30 m/min) with active coolant. For S235 structural steel, the full range of available speeds can be used. For aluminum, higher speeds are used.

Are replacement blades available?

Yes. Original Bernardo bi-metal blades for the Bernardo semi-automatic metal bandsaw are available with 3–5 working day shipping.

How much space is needed in the workshop?

For bar handling, free space at least equal to the maximum workpiece length is needed in front of and behind the machine. Coordinate with Krollit for the complete dimensions and weight of the Bernardo semi-automatic metal bandsaw.
