Bernardo VMS 310 Vertical Bandsaw
The Bernardo VMS 310 is a compact and versatile vertical bandsaw, designed for precise cutting of metals and shaped profiles. The solid cast iron table ensures stability and safety, and can be tilted by 15° in all directions to offer maximum flexibility in machining. The machine features continuous speed adjustment (20–90 m/min), adapting to different materials and thicknesses. Standard accessories include a blade welder with annealing device, shear, integrated grinding wheel, and compressed air gun, allowing for blade preparation and regeneration directly in the workshop. With cutting capacities up to 310 mm in width and 175 mm in height, a 2520 mm blade, a 0.4 kW motor, and a weight of 225 kg, it is suitable for mechanical workshops and metalworking shops that require a robust and reliable machine in a compact format.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal bandsaw?
A vertical saw (like the Bernardo VMS Vertical Bandsaw) has a vertically running blade, and the workpiece is guided manually (like a bench saw). It is suitable for shaped cuts, curves, and irregular shapes on workpieces placed on the work surface. A horizontal saw has the blade that descends onto the fixed workpiece: ideal for cutting bars and profiles to size automatically or semi-automatically.
Can the Bernardo VMS 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 VMS Vertical Bandsaw are available with 3–5 working days shipping. Specify length, width, and tooth pitch when ordering.
Does the saw include a parallel guide for straight cuts?
Many VMS versions include a parallel guide and an angle ruler. Check the standard equipment of the specific Bernardo VMS Vertical Bandsaw with Krollit. Customer support available in Italian.
How much space is needed in the workshop?
The Bernardo VMS Vertical Bandsaw with a working height of 200 mm and a table width of 300x400 mm requires adequate clear space on all sides for workpiece handling. Recommended minimum clear space: 1 m on each side of the machine.
