Bernardo horizontal band saw MCB 320 eco

Bernardo MCB 320 Eco Horizontal Bandsaw

The Bernardo MCB 320 Eco is a professional horizontal bandsaw designed for demanding processing of stainless steel, tool steels, pipes, and solid materials. The solid cast iron frame ensures torsion-free stability, while the adjustable blade guides ensure precision in every cut. Thanks to the arm's inclination both to the left (-45°) and to the right (+60°), double angle cuts can be performed with great flexibility. It features two cutting speeds (35 / 70 m/min), pressure adjustment via hydraulic cylinder, and robust construction for quiet, vibration-free operation. Complete with a quick-release cast iron vice, material fence, coolant device, and automatic blade breakage control, it is the choice for workshops and metalworking shops that require reliability and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a horizontal and vertical saw?

A horizontal saw lowers the blade assembly onto the stationary workpiece — ideal for repeatedly cutting bars and profiles to size. A vertical saw (bandsaw type) has the blade running vertically and the workpiece is guided manually: suitable for shaped cuts and curves.

What speed should I use for stainless steel with the Bernardo Horizontal 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 downward force of the blade assembly.

Are replacement blades available?

Yes. Original Bernardo bimetal blades for the Bernardo Horizontal Bandsaw are available with 3–5 working days shipping. Available in different tooth configurations for various materials: steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, cast iron.

Does the saw include a cooling system?

It 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. Italian customer support available.

Are assistance and spare parts available in Italian?
