Frequently Asked Questions
What can the CBS 280 cut?
Profiles, tubes, solid bars, and rolled sections in steel, aluminum, and cast iron within the indicated section limits.
The cutting capacity is expressed in mm of maximum section for round, square, and rectangular profiles. For extra-hard materials, reduce the blade speed and use blades with appropriate tooth pitch.
What type of blade does it require?
Bimetal blade for cutting steel, carbon steel blade for soft metals.
Krollit supplies original Bernardo blades with various tooth pitches to optimize cutting based on material type and thickness.
What cutting speed does it offer?
See the "Band speed" data in the technical table: typically adjustable in 2-4 steps or continuously (Vario).
Low speeds (15-30 m/min) for alloy steels, high speeds (50-80 m/min) for light alloys and aluminum. Incorrect selection accelerates blade wear.
Does it have integrated cooling?
Professional models are equipped with a cooling pump with a collection tank and drip tray.
Cooling (with cutting oil or emulsion) extends blade life and improves cutting quality on hard materials. For dry cutting, use specific blades.
How much does it weigh and how is it installed?
See the "Weight" data in the technical table: industrial models weigh from 150 to over 400 kg.
Saws over 200 kg require adequate flooring and fastening. The machine must be positioned in a clear space for handling long profiles.
