Bernardo VMS 1000 A Vertical Bandsaw with Moving Table

Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw with Automatic Table Feed VMS 1000 A

The Bernardo VMS 1000 A is a high-capacity vertical bandsaw designed for complex, contoured, and precision cuts on metal. It features a solid cast iron table with a large work surface (660 x 700 mm + additional table 450 x 490 mm), inclinable by 5° to the left and 15° to the right, and automatic feed with a 350 mm stroke. The blade speed is continuously adjustable across two ranges (20–85 m/min and 120–500 m/min), via a digital LED display, to suit different materials. Standard accessories such as a blade welder with annealing, shears, integrated grinding wheel, and compressed air gun allow blades to be reconditioned directly in the workshop. With cutting capacities up to 1010 mm in width and 340 mm in height, a 4540 mm blade, a 1.5 kW motor, and a weight of 950 kg, it is a robust machine, perfect for workshops and fabrication shops that require efficiency and versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal bandsaw?

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

Can the Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw cut curves and contours?

Yes, within the limits of the minimum bending radius allowed by the blade width. Narrower blades (6–8 mm) are used for tight curves; wider blades (13–20 mm) are used for straight cuts. 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 working days shipping. 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 angle guide. Check the standard equipment of the specific Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw with Krollit. Customer support available in Italian.

How much space is needed in the workshop?

The Bernardo Vertical Bandsaw with a working height of 20 mm and a 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.
