Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw with Moving Table VMS 520 A

Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw with Automatic Table Feed VMS 520 A

The Bernardo VMS 520 A is a vertical bandsaw with automatic feed, designed for professional processing of metal and complex materials. Ideal for cutting intricate shapes and profiles, it features a solid cast iron table and a large tiltable work surface (L 5° / R 15°) to ensure stability and safety. The blade speed is continuously adjustable, with two feed ranges: 20–85 m/min and 120–500 m/min, to adapt to different materials and thicknesses. It comes complete with a blade welding machine with an annealing device, shear, and integrated grinding wheel, allowing blades to be prepared and reconditioned directly on the machine. Standard features include an air gun, digital LED display, rip fence, and miter gauge. With a cutting capacity of up to 520 mm in width and 310 mm in height, a 3880 mm blade, and a 1.5 kW motor, it is a robust, versatile, and essential choice for mechanical workshops and metalworking businesses.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between vertical and horizontal bandsaws?

A vertical saw (like the Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw) has the blade running vertically, and the workpiece is guided manually (like a benchtop sawmill). It is suitable for cutting contoured shapes, curves, and irregular forms on workpieces placed on the work surface. A horizontal saw has the blade descending onto a fixed workpiece: ideal for automatically or semi-automatically cutting bars and profiles to size.

Can the Bernardo 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 Vertical Bandsaw 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 miter gauge. Check the specific standard equipment of the Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw with Krollit. Customer support in Italian available.

How much space is needed in the workshop?

The Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw with a working height of 20 mm and table width of 20 mm requires adequate clear space on all sides for workpiece handling. Recommended minimum clear space: 1 m on each side of the machine.
