Bernardo VMS 460 Vertical Bandsaw
The Bernardo VMS 460 is a professional vertical bandsaw designed for precise and complex cuts on metals and shaped materials. The solid cast iron table ensures stability and safety, with a 15° tilt in all directions for maximum flexibility. The cutting speed is continuously adjustable from 25 to 115 m/min, adapting to different materials and thicknesses. Standard features include a blade welder with annealing device, shear, and integrated grinding wheel, which allow blades to be prepared and regenerated directly on the machine. The professional quality blade guide ensures consistent cuts, while the included compressed air gun facilitates workbench cleaning. With a cutting capacity of up to 455 mm in width and 255 mm in height, a 0.75 kW motor, and a compact 300 kg structure, it represents an ideal machine for workshops and metalworking shops that require precision and reliability.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal bandsaw?
A vertical saw (like the Bernardo VM Vertical Bandsaw) has the blade running vertically and the workpiece is guided manually (like a benchtop sawmill). 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 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 business days shipping. Specify length, width, and tooth pitch when ordering.
Does the saw include a parallel fence for straight cuts?
Many VMS versions include a parallel fence 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 200 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.
