Bernardo Metal Bandsaw EBS 150 BC / 230 V
The Bernardo EBS 150 BC / 230 V is a compact and robust bandsaw, designed for advanced hobbyists and small workshops seeking precision and reliability in metal cutting. Thanks to its torsion-free cast iron arm, it offers stability and accurate cuts even on challenging materials such as steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals. It features three selectable speeds (23/33/52 m/min) via a belt, allowing it to adapt to the material being worked. The ball bearing blade guide ensures cutting precision and consistency, while the integrated coolant device ensures longer blade life. With a capacity of up to 140 mm round and 150 x 140 mm flat at 90°, a 0.55 kW motor, and a weight of 98 kg, it is a complete machine. It includes a quick-release vise, material fence, and stand for practical and safe use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a horizontal and vertical saw?
A horizontal saw lowers the blade unit onto the stationary workpiece—ideal for cutting bars and profiles to length in a repeatable manner. A vertical saw (bench saw type) has the blade moving vertically and the workpiece is guided manually: suitable for shaped cuts and curves.
What speed should I use for stainless steel with the Bernardo Metal Bandsaw?
For AISI 304 stainless steel, use the lowest available speed (20–30 m/min) with active coolant if available. Higher speeds cause overheating and rapid blade wear. For stainless steel over 50 mm in diameter, also reduce the downforce of the blade unit.
Are replacement blades available?
Yes. Original Bernardo bimetal blades for the Bernardo Metal Bandsaw are available with 3–5 working day shipping. Available in various tooth configurations for different materials: steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, cast iron.
Does the saw include a cooling system?
Depends on the version. Some Bernardo versions include an integrated coolant pump (typically indicated in the name or technical table). For versions without cooling, manual cutting oil is recommended for stainless steel and hard materials. Customer support in Italian available.
Are assistance and spare parts available in Italian?
