Bernardo VMS 360 Vertical Bandsaw
The Bernardo VMS 360 is a compact and professional vertical bandsaw, ideal for precision machining of metal and shaped profiles. Thanks to its solid cast iron table, which can be tilted 15° in all directions, it offers maximum stability and flexibility. Continuous speed adjustment (20–90 m/min) allows adaptation to different materials, while the professional-grade blade guide ensures clean and precise cuts. Standard features include a blade welder with annealing device, shear, integrated grinding wheel, and compressed air gun, which allow blades to be prepared and reconditioned directly on the machine. With a cutting capacity of up to 355 mm in width and 230 mm in height, a 2840 mm blade, a 0.75 kW motor, and a weight of 250 kg, it is suitable for workshops and metalworking shops that require a solid and comprehensive vertical saw.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal bandsaw?
A vertical saw (like the Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw VM) has the blade running vertically and the workpiece is guided manually (like a benchtop saw). It is suitable for shaped cuts, curves, and irregular shapes on workpieces placed on the work surface. A horizontal saw has the blade descending onto a fixed workpiece: ideal for cutting bars and profiles to size automatically or semi-automatically.
Can the Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw VM 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 Vertical Bandsaw VM are available with 3–5 business day shipping. Please specify length, width, and tooth pitch when ordering.
Does the saw include a rip fence for straight cuts?
Many VMS versions include a rip fence and angle ruler. Check the standard equipment of the specific Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw VM with Krollit. Italian customer support available.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw VM with a working height of 200 mm and a table width of 300×400 mm requires adequate clear space on all sides for workpiece handling. Recommended minimum clear space: 1 m on each side of the machine.
